If you're going to claim that I "agreed with you" - not even remotely a true statement, and that is obvious - then you should at least be right.

Consensus is that all parties, but especially the Germans, used them long before that date. Something you'd know if you bothered to look into it.

Sorry, but Tear gas isn't a chemical weapon. There is no country that considers it to be such. And, more importantly, it isn't actually banned in warfare - it just does not get used because people are morons and would think it something else. Effects of it, barring an allergy, are almost never fatal. In essence, it does not come even close to meeting the definition of one.

If you're going to call it a "chemical weapon" - which it is not - then you need to call water one as well. And that would be simply ridiculous.
