Module 3:

Transforming Europe through the Continuing Impact of

Technological and Scientific Developments during WWI

Module Info

Scientists like Clara Immerwahr faced a moral dilemma 100 years ago, when their work contributed to the industrial mass slaughter of hundreds and thousands of young men during WWI. Chemical warfare with disabling chemicals (such as tear gas) or lethal agents (like mustard gas) was a horrible reality during this first global war and has since become commonplace.
