The use of chemical weapons in WW1 was extensive to say the least killing thousands upon thousands of people and injuring even more. Some historians in chemistry refer to the war as the "Chemists War" referring to the massive chemistry involved in creating and mass producing the chemical weapons. Many chemists were trying to create newer and better weapons to be used against the enemy. America was not outside of this frenzy, the actual majority of researchers out of the 1,580 supposed Degree awarded chemists creating weapons approximately 1,200 were American. The Americans had by far the majority of technical scientists developing chemical weapons. In Germany approximately 150 technical scientists and another 1,850 unqualified people were developing weapons. The Germans developed sections for research in the development of chemical weapons they ranged from respirators, masks, shells and chemicals.
