Napalm

Napalm is a flammable substance used in warfare, primarily known for its ability to create intense and destructive fires. Originally developed during World War II, it is a mixture of a gelling agent and petroleum. When deployed, it sticks to surfaces and burns at extremely high temperatures, making it devastatingly effective against troops and installations. Its use, especially in civilian areas, has been controversial due to the severe burns it causes and its long-lasting effects on the environment and human health. Napalm has been banned in many contexts under international law due to its horrific impact.
