How can biological diseases and innovations affect the outcomes of war?
Jordan - Biology and innovation affects war in every way. If both sides have the same technology then chances are there will be a stalemate. However, when one side gets a new innovation, a new edge, they will turn the tide. There are others ways to turn the tide of a stalemate, and this is where Biology comes in. If one side has a disease sweeping their ranks, or have to stand in water vs dry trenches, the disadvantaged side will begin to fall. You can weaponize biology. Innovations are pretty much war themselves.
Alex- I believe that biological diseases and innovations can affect the outcomes of war because various diseases affect how soldiers perform, or kill them, but the innovations can prevent deaths and improve the health of soldiers in terrible conditions. Like if many soldiers suffered from trench foot/mouth or got a different disease, then those soldiers cannot fight in the battle making it's strength weaker. However, innovations like boots and better gear can prevent many of those deaths or conditions from occurring. A better example of this is poison gas, which was a biological weapon used in WW1, that killed multitudes of people until the gas mask was used, which evolved from simple cloths dipped in anti gas chemicals and developed to a full mask that covered the entire head and used filter boxes. The outcomes that result from biological disease are death and weaker soldiers and the innovations can help the soldiers survive, making the outcome of war in favor of that country.
Natalie-Biological diseases and innovations affect the outcomes of the war in various ways. Diseases affected the war because many soldiers could become infected and that disease could spread throughout their trenches. Sick and weak soldiers do not perform as well as healthy ones, so the opposing side gained an advantage over them. Also, the innovations that came about during the war gave different countries different advantages over their enemies. For example, Germany’s gas innovations gave them an advantage over the Allies. Other innovations, such as the tank or biplane, allowed certain countries to use a weapon that no one else had. Innovations and disease affected the outcome of WWI, as well as any other war in history.
Jeremiah- I think that the only way that chemical warfare could affect war Is that there will be more deaths and more people coming out of war all messed up. I think the reason that there was so many deaths in ww1 was because there was gas flying all over the battlefield. They are all sitting in the trenches and going nowhere fast so the gas could just sweep across the field and take them all out. So the way that gas affected ww1 by making three more deaths than if there was no gas.
Brennan- I believe that biological diseases and innovations can greatly affect the outcome of war in many ways. The biological diseases can make an enemies army either very weak, unable to fight, or even kill them. Innovations, however, can also equal the playing field in war maybe even more ways. For example, people have been use to fighting a war on the ground but the invention of the airplane lead to people being able to take control from the skies.
