This article describes the use of biological weapons from antiquity to the beginning of the 21st
century and the importance of epidemics for the development and collapse of civilisations and
states. It has been shown that both at a time when the etiology of infectious diseases was not
known and in the modern world of microbiology, genetics and molecular biology development,
the use of biological weapons can contribute to a victory more than conventional weapons.
