The US Army used smallpox infected blankets which they distributed to Native Americans as biological warfare - the first in modern history to be generally used. As the Native Americans had had no exposure [built up no immunity to] smallpox, it devastated them - causing up to 80-85% deaths. I believe Ward Churchill has documented this well, as has others and this program started before the wars between the Native Americans and the US Military to rid the land of the People that didn't 'exist'. Hitler cited the way the Native American's were dealt with in N.A. [and Turkish with Armenians] as his template and examples for his 'final solution'. Such, however, is as old as 'civilization' [sic].
