What country was the first to use Gas As Weapon?
(germany) <----- that would be incorrect.
- The first evidence of a "gas weapon", excluding chemically created fire shooting weapons (for ancient flamethrowers - whole other topic), dates back to about 250 AD. The Persians would dig tunnels slightly lower than the Romans', put sulfur in underground, controlled fires in order kill the Romans in the tunnels above (as the gas would obviously rise). The burning of sulfur would release sulfur dioxide, a very toxic gas.
- The most concrete evidence, however, of a "gas weapon" is actually by the Korean. Earliest documentation of a very powerful ship is set in the early 15th century. The Koreans constructed the "Turtle ship". They were later extremely successful in wars, most notably the Battle of Sacheon in 1592. On the front of the ship there is a very large dragon head. This served not only as decoration, but also as a deadly weapon. It acted as a fire pit and they would toss sulfur in the fire whenever they had the chance (whenever the wind was blowing toward the enemy (Japanese) ships).
(If you're interested in seeing a very well though-out war machine, type in turtle ship in a search engine and read up on it. Completely sealed off from invaders gaining access to the inside of their boats and those aboard (spiked top), 26 canons set at different ranges, ~130 people on board, chemical weapon, used for about 4 centuries)

How did Belgian resistance affect the German war plans?
In WWI? The German's wanted to march through Belgium into northern France to attack them from behind. They wanted to prevent a two front war (France and Russia) by taking France out fast. They hoped that they could go through with no resistance because Belgium was a neutral country. Belgium, however, did not appreciate this, so they put up a small resistance to the German forces. This gave the French some time to assemble their forces in the north. The Germans were delayed by three days, so when they finally broke into France, they were put down quickly by the French fighters.

How did the major powers in World War 1 become involved?
On the 28th of June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand –heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne– was assassinated in Bosnia.
Austria pointed the finger at Serbia, and therefore declared war on them. They then started bombing Belgrade.
Next Russia’s army prepared to help defend Serbia against the attack.
Germany –Austria’s ally– then sent a letter, demanding Russia that they pull out and abandon helping Serbia; in defending their country.
Russia refused and so forth, Germany declared war on Russia. They also begin to move their army towards France (Russia’s ally.)
France then began to prepare to fight a German invasion, and to top things off Austria declared war on Russia.
Meanwhile. the Germans were still in Belgium, when Britain declared war on them, Germany then declared war on France and invaded Belgium (even though they were not part of the triple entente!)
Finally Britain then ordered Germany to withdraw from Belgium.
Why did German soldiers not feel defeated after World War 1?
The German's didn't feel defeated, because Hitler promised them for world domination. That he'd fix Germany and make it the capital of the world, and how he promised everyones life to get better. So the soldiers were still thinking that they could win the next war (aka WW2 (World War 2) ) As a people, the Germans did not feel they had been really defeated in WW I - only "humiliated". Hitler played on that.
What did the technology developed during world war 1 result in?

Why is Italy willing to risk going to war?
Italy was willing to risk going to war in WW1 to secure a number of territories that were deemed by her reigning regime as vital for its future. They included the Austrian Littoral and a portion of Dalmatia.
The Kingdom of Italy was an ally of the Central Powers (German Empire, Austria-Hungarian Empire) at the outbreak of World War One in August 1914. As a member of "Triple Alliance" their allegiance was intended to counter-balance the Triple Entente allegiance of France, United Kingdom and Russia. However, at the outbreak of hostilities, the Kingdom of Italy did not join in fighting and instead joined the allied (France, Russia, United Kingdom) side in May 1915.
Why Hieronymus Bosch is considered enigmatic?
One of the most fascinating of the Netherlandish painters to viewers today (1450-1516), whose work depicts a world of fantastic imagination more often associated with medieval than Renaissance art. A superb colorist and technical virtuoso, Bosch spent his career in the town whose name he adopted, 's-Hertogenbosch. Bosch's religious devotion is certain, and his range of subjects shows that he was well educated. One of his most famous works of art: GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS; A triptych, oil on wood panel, center panel 7'2.5" X 6'4.75'' (2.20 X 1.95 m), each wing 7'2.5" X 3'2" (2.20 X 0.97 m)

Will you always know if you have a concussion after hitting your head?
You wouldn't necessarily "know" without being examined, but you can easily see if you have the classic symptoms by Googling for "concussion symptoms" and making an appointment with a doctor.
Phil First of all, I have no medical training. That being said, from what I understand, NO, you won't always know if you have a concussion. If you think you might have a concussion, you should GO TO A DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY! Depending on what happened to you, you might, for instance, have bleeding inside your skull that could be really dangerous and could even kill you. And you might not know it at all. A doctor may perform simple tests to check that your eyes are working normally, that you can move all your muscles and feel things normally, and that you're thinking normally. You may also get more sophisticated tests to look at your brain inside your skull to check for bleeding or swelling. If you think there's a possibility that you have a concussion, I believe you should go to a doctor. You might feel signs of bad things that could be happening - or you might not. You should especially see a doctor if you have a headache. Get things checked out before it's too late.
