Churchill Planned to Use Chemical Gas on the Turks in Gallipoli

According to the documents at the Churchill Archives Center, Churchill,

then Secretary of State for War, claimed that the Turks were not human, but
barbarians, and therefore poisonous gas could be used on them. Churchill
85
criticized his colleagues for their squeamishness in using chemical weapons,

saying: 'I am strongly in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes.' 86

(The noble and respectable Turkish nation is above such remarks) When he
faced objections that such an act would be a crime against humanity, he
would claim that the only way to gain victory in the Gallipoli battle was

through chemical warfare.

At the end of WWI, he pushed for the use of poisonous gas. Despite the

horrible casualties that chemical warfare caused on the Western Front, where
Churchill himself had seen active duty for six months between 1915 and

1916, records showed that he stressed the 'military value' of chemical war-
87
fare despite the horrific injuries it caused. In fact, 'he wanted to gas the Turks

at Gallipoli.' 88
