when did the US first use biological weapons?

Question

yes they did. i am looking for a little know history fact

Answer 1

The blankets infested with smallpox given to the Indians. I don't know the year or the tribe.

Answer 2

George Washington coughed in the direction of Trenton New Jersey and lots of Hessians fell down dead. That crossing the Delaware river story was a complete fabrication to explain how the unsophisticated back woods types comprising the American Army could possibly wipe out a well-trained European force under the command of a fine thoroughly educated officer. There is no way those stupid Americans could have done what was claimed, so the only real possibility is that Washington used chemical weapons to murder the Hessians. That was some cough Washington had that day, I can still hear the echoes from it...

Answer 3

During the very settlement of Michigan, it has been rumored that a man by the name of Johnson supplied the American Indians that were infected with various diseases, especially small pox. This accusation has occurred over the years and well into the 1900 as the US tried to solve the "Indian Problem."
It wouldn't surprised me one bit if they did. But in the early years of European they infected the Indians with many diseases that the natives had no natural immunity. This was not necessarily done on purpose. Just a by product of one isolated culture coming into contact with another. Of course, many Europeans also died from diseases found in the New World that they were not familiar with.

Answer 4

No speech or debate mandatory. the US has renounced using organic and organic weapons for over thirty years. Our militia has 0 shares of organic and organic weapons (pathogens or pollution). on the different hand, we've super parts of nerve and blister brokers saved throughout the U.S. although those shares are old and are ALL being destroyed in accordance with the Chemical weapons convention ban our congress ratified in 1997. We do shield the abilitiy to apply Nuclear weapons (with Presidential authority) to boot as hire tear gas and herbicides for shielding makes use of (clearing brush around FOBs, rescue down air crews, etc...). Now purely via fact we don't use them would not recommend we are that naive to think of that yet another united states of america won't use them against us. as a result we habit learn throughout the U.S. to maintain %. with develop in bio and chemical engineering. specially executed on college campuses. no longer a huge secret.

Answer 5

in the14th century: During an attack on Kaffa (now Feodossia, Ukraine), Tatar armies catapult comrades who died of bubonic plague into the city. The defenders are infected, and they flee, apparently carrying plague to Europe. Thus the second outbreak of "black death" in Europe may be partly blamed on biological warfare. this tactic was used on many indian tribes when the first Europeans came to the 'new world".

"In 1933, the U.S Public Health Service in Macon county, Albama began an investigation to chart the succession of phases syphilis exhibits when left to itself, uncomplicated by other morbid processes and unmolested by active treatment. 399 African-American men with latent syphilis and 201 men without disease were enrolled in the study based on the results of a 1930 venereal diseases control projects survey."

"1942: The U.S. begins an offensive biological weapons program at Camp Detrick, Md. Tests with anthrax and other pathogens are hampered by a lack of safe enclosures. Non-pathogenic test organisms escape, and a large-scale
production of bio-weapons is not attempted. After the war, efforts continue at the renamed Fort Detrick and Pine Bluff, Ark.1949-1968: U.S. surreptitiously tests dispersal of non-pathogenic agents (as stand-ins for biological weapons) in New York City, San Francisco and elsewhere. By the late 1960s, according to George Christopher and co-authors at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases, the "U.S. military had developed a biological arsenal that included numerous bacterial pathogens, toxins, and fungal plant pathogens that could be directed against crops to induce crop failure and famine."

do you have others and want to inform us?

Answer 6
