Verdich [7]3 years ago
8 0

All of the above. WWI combatants used cotton pads dipped into a solution, protective mask and urine drenched cloth to safeguard from chemical warfare.The first major poison gas attack in WW1 took place on 22nd April 1915, when the Germans released 150 tons of chlorine gas near Ypres.

Explanation:

Chlorine gas attack by the German soldiers resulted in the death of thousand french soldiers. Men who had the knowledge of chemistry acknowledged it to be the chlorine gas from its unique smell and they knew the simple solutions which counter effected the poisonous gas. They dipped the cloth in the simple solutions that were available in the trenches and that seemed to neutralize the gas effect.

But it did not prove to be efficacious as the chlorine gas was released in a concentrated manner which proved to be fatal for the french soldiers. Chemicals like sodium bicarbonate and sodium hyposulphate which were used in photography were also used but there was no lasting effect. Finally, The Canadian flank came up with a remarkable observation stating that urine soaked cloth masks were effective in combating the concentrated chlorine gas.

what are the reasons for the lack of Indian unity in fighting Europeans was that the Indians were descended from different peopl
kap26 [50]

There's multiple reasons for the lack of unity between the Indian tribes against the European invasion and expansion on their territory. The Indians were divided into multiple groups, some of which had already had problems and bad blood between them, so alliances between tribes like that were not the first choice in mind. Also, the Europeans played well tactically, by promising some of the tribes certain things if they ally with them, so once the Europeans managed to get what they wanted they were turning against their Indian allies who were pretty much isolated bu that point because of their actions. The conquering of new territories by the Europeans also was very big factor, because they managed to cut the connections between the tribes, thus not allowing them to be able to create alliances and be united against them.

What could julius caesar have done to show his enemies he wasn't abusing his power
8090 [49]
There were numerous things. For starters, he could've resigned and showed that he doesn't plan to become a dictator. In addition, Romans were all about outward appearance and social status and much of Caesar's behavior towards the high ranking senate members was humiliating to them so they naturally loathed him. He could've given them more respect in order to gain their support.
