The Siege of Caffa (1346) – The First Biological Warfare Attack That Spread the Black Death

In 1346, during the Siege of Caffa, the Mongol Empire used a terrifying new tactic: biological warfare. Facing a deadly plague outbreak, the Mongols catapulted plague-infected corpses into the city of Caffa, hoping to spread the disease. This gruesome act is considered one of the first uses of biological warfare in history. The disease spread quickly, and as people fled Caffa, many unknowingly carried the plague with them, sparking the Black Death across Europe. Was this really the first biological weapon in history?
