Uncovered After Two Centuries: Secret British Chemical Warfare Plot Emerges From War of 1812 Archives
If chemical weapons had been used, this would have perhaps been the first attack of its kind in history. However, this needs qualification, as toxic smoke had been deployed before the 19th century.
A study published by archaeologist Simon James in the American Journal of Archaeology details how, circa 256 C.E., in the ancient city of Dura-Europos, Sasanian Persian forces burned sulfur in a siege tunnel to incapacitate Roman soldiers.
While Cochrane’s plan may not have been humanity’s first deployment of toxic gas during combat, it would have been the first naval gas attack on a large scale in the modern era — but he simply never got the chance to make history.
After reading about the memo that details Britain’s planned chemical attack on the U.S. during the War of 1812, learn about Jean Lafitte, the French pirate king who helped defend New Orleans in the War of 1812. Then, discover the story of Edgewood Arsenal, the U.S. military’s top-secret human experiment program during the Cold War.
