Özet

In the early days of mankind, those who used ordinary objects such as trees, stones, bones as weapons, increased their influence by giving them new forms as the ages passed. The invention of cutting tools, arrows and bows and catapult-type vehicles has always been about this supremacy. When people began to fight against the same weapons, they sought new ways and tactics. Sometimes the hostility and hatred of the communities led people to destroy the living things they did not see from them. When they understood that they could not do this with arrows and bows in the old ages, they turned to other cunnings. Because most of the time the sword or arrow wound was treated, and people could recover. At this point, the human enemy went to the use of chemical weapons for the purpose of wholesale destruction.
