Ended over half a century ago, landmines and explosive remnants of war are the cursed inheritance left to them by war. Up until the 20th century, the number of killed and injured caused by munitions left from wars was quite inconsequential, but the weaponry built during the First World War mandated new definition of unexploded munitions, left over from wars. Access to more powerful weapons led to a greater number of deaths and thus more victories in battle, but no one was thinking of the other consequences of using such weapons.
