Scenarios about 'bioterrorism'

Bioterrorism refers to the deliberate release of viruses, bacteria, toxins, or other harmful biological agents to cause illness, death, fear, or societal disruption. Throughout history, biological weapons have been developed by various nations and groups, with notable examples including the Japanese Unit 731 during World War II and the anthrax letters in the United States in 2001. In alternate history scenarios, bioterrorism events often serve as critical divergence points, exploring how different responses to biological attacks might reshape national security policies, international relations, and public health systems.
