Biological wars, as the name suggests is the use of biological weapons as a means of war. These biological armaments have the potential to create a widespread pandemic. They can cause more harm than any explosive or nuclear weapon. The pandemics created are uncontainable in many cases and this inability to control their spread is what makes the difference. These weapons can be very lethal, and there spread depends on factors such as the agent\'s infectiousness, its length of incubation, its stability, and the ability to survive the treatments or the vaccines. The article further discusses various usage of these bioweapons in war, especially in World war II. Treaties were signed to prevent the use of these deadly weapons, but nevertheless, did not prove fruitful in every aspect. The Security Council can research objections, yet this force has never been summoned.
