Biological weapons had been used by the German Army in World War I to contaminate livestock, animal feed and humans. Given the horrific effects, this weaponry was widely condemned. However, the U.S. and Japan refused to sign treaties prohibiting this type of warfare. The Japanese military conducted biowarfare in the 1930s and 1940s, with China their primary target. The U.S. obtained a Japanese report on such experiments in 1941 and built on this research at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute at Fort Detrick, Md., as early as 1942. After World War II, many Japanese scientists were spared (including chief germ warfare expert Gen. Shiro Ishii), courtesy of efforts spearheaded by Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Nicknamed “The Institute,” this facility became the nerve center for biowarfare research during World War II in a joint effort of the U.S., Canada and Britain. After the Axis forces surrendered, the U.S. and Western allies turned to fighting socialist countries. The Korean War (the “Forgotten War”) was launched on June 25, 1950.
