Without the use of early germ warfare, we might not HAVE a Thanksgiving OR Montreal!
Small pox blankets and handkerchiefs for everyone!

And americans act like Saddam invented germ warfare?

'On Amherst's order, General James Wolfe captured Quebec in 1759. Amherst personally captured Montreal the following year, thus ending French control over what would become Canada. He became Governor General of British North America in 1761.

The new Governor General saw no reason to continue the French practice of allying with the native people. He dispensed of the practice of giving natives presents to ensure their loyalty. His "get tough with Indians" policy insulted and angered the native people. Many, in turn, united under Pontiac and captured several British forts in 1763. In letters to his subordinate officers, Amherst suggested they "inoculate the Indians by means of [smallpox infested] blankets." Several officers followed his suggestion, which resulted in smallpox epidemics among some native communities.'
