Скачать или смотреть The Siege of Caffa and the Birth of Biological Warfare

The Siege of Caffa, a Genoese trading port on the Crimean Peninsula, became infamous when the Mongol army, suffering from an outbreak of the bubonic plague, supposedly used catapults to launch infected corpses into the city to infect the inhabitants. This act is often cited as one of the earliest documented uses of biological warfare, as it aimed to weaken and spread disease among the enemy population. The incident at Caffa is also linked by some historians to the subsequent spread of the Black Death into Europe, highlighting how warfare tactics could have inadvertently contributed to one of history's deadliest pandemics.
