Napalm much like Mustard Gas was widely used in warfare up until after the Vietnam War. Developed during World War II as a way to attempt to strangle opposing sides by destroying military as well as civilian infrastructure. During World War II, there was outcry about the morality of letting loose napalm bombs on towns and cities.
Many victims during napalm air raids were not killed by the fire, but by asphyxiation because the fires were so huge that the fires would incinerate the air. Further fueling the fires which could last for days after the bombing.
