The Second Battle of Ypres was the first time Germany used poison gas on a large scale on the Western Front in the First World War and the first time a former colonial force (Canadians) pushed back a major European power (Germans) on European soil, which occurred in the battle of St. Julien-Kitcheners' Wood.

Second Battle of Ypres in Southern Victory[]

The Second Battle of Ypres was the Great War battle in which Germany introduced chlorine gas against the British in 1915. After the battle, samples of the gas was passed on to the US, who used it against their enemies. General George Armstrong Custer was glad to be using it when it finally arrived to his front.
