The use of 'Anthrax' began in which War ?

  • A.Gulf War
  • B.First World War
  • C.Second World War
  • D.Korean War

Answer: B

The use of anthrax began in the First World War.

During the First World War, German agents tried to infect horses, mules and cattle bound for the Allies with anthrax and glanders, in the United States, Romania, Norway and elsewhere, to disrupt Allied transport and supplies. This sabotage campaign is the first recorded military use of anthrax.

Later programmes came after it: Japan's Unit 731 used biological agents in China in the Second World War, and anthrax was a concern for troops in the Gulf War of 1991, but neither was the beginning. The Korean War saw only unproven allegations.
