Conclusion

I would like begin this by stating that some information that has been left out about other conflicts regarding chemical and biological warfare. The use of these weapons is so numerous that it would take volumes to explain all the atrocities that have taken place. Much of which is still being denied, evidence destroyed, firsthand knowledge is gone and much of the government records have still not been fully disclosed. I highly suggest that if you are interested in the subject, to continue researching the topic.

While I have chosen to only include wars that the United States and its allies used or tested chemical and biological weapons, this is not where the story ends unfortunately. Many terrorist groups still use the methods of chemical and biological weapons. It is said that all that is needed to start a biological weapons facility is ten thousand dollars and a space the size of a two car garage. With this setup small amounts of bio weapons can be produced. As more information is easily accessed the threat becomes larger. While this is a large concern, I believe that more and more countries are heading in a safer direction.
