Unit I Scholarly Activity

In this unit, we learned about terrorism and the history
of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). Your assignment for this unit is to
research one type of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or
explosive (CBRNE) weapon that was developed and used as a WMD prior to World

Use of chemical weapons during World War 1: Chlorine
and mustard gas used on troops in the trenches.

In your paper, be sure to discuss the topics listed below.

Give an in-depth description of the device and how it
was used.
Examine what technological advancements led to the
development of the WMD.
Discuss how the WMD was used and what the impacts
were on society.
Was the device used in a time of war? Was it used by
what we would consider as a terrorist group today? Discuss the political
ramifications of the use of the WMD.
Following the use of the WMD, were any laws enacted
to regulate the use of the device?
Describe any overall changes in warfare associated
with the WMD.

Your completed assignment should be at least two pages in
