The '''Strasbourg Agreement''' of [[1675]] is the first international agreement banning the use of [[chemical weapon]]s. The treaty was signed between [[France]] and the [[Holy Roman Empire]], and was created in response to the use of poisoned [[bullet]]s. The treaty was signed on [[August 27]], [[1675]]. The next major agreement on chemical weapons did not occur until the [[1925]] [[Geneva Protocol]].
