Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'biowarfare'

Biowarfare refers to the deliberate use of disease-causing biological agents such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or toxins as weapons against humans, animals, or agriculture. Throughout history, from medieval catapulting of plague victims into besieged cities to sophisticated Cold War biological weapons programs, it represents one of humanity's most ethically controversial military developments. In alternate history scenarios, biowarfare often serves as a pivotal element that dramatically alters conflict outcomes, population demographics, or technological development paths.
