Clara Immerwahr, chemical weapons, arms race, women emancipationAbstract
The text deals with the significance of the life of Clara Immerwahr as a symbol in understanding the devastating impact of the use of chemical weapons in World War I. With the use of these weapons, an accelerated arms race began as part of the basic strategy of modern warfare and the creation of a “triumvirate” between economy, war and capitalism, which continues to this day with catastrophic consequences and the spread of war and environmental hotspots around the world. Clara Immerwahr symbolizes the irreplaceability of humanity as a factor in the appreciation of any great historical act and the significance of any invention or progress. The text also addresses the impact of war on women's emancipation at the beginning of the 20th century.
