How many countries have used chemical weapons in warfare since WW1?

Germany in the camps (maybe Crimea) and Japan in China during WWII.
The Soviets in Afghanistan.
There have also been other sporadic reports of use of chemical
weapons.

Ah ... I didn't think of the German concentration camps. It's sad that
gas was used to kill Jews yet the German military honored the ban on
it's use on the battlefields.

I also forgot about Japan. They were ruthless in WWII.

Didn't know about the Soviets in Afghanistan. Interestingly, the latest
news is that the Pentagon announced they have concrete evidence that
Russia (Putin) knew in advance that Assad was going to use sarin on the
civilian city last Tuesday.
