| Who coined the term "weapons of mass destruction"?
moeron...
The term "weapons of mass destruction" was first coined on December
28th, 1937 as a reference to bombing of cities during the Spanish
Civil War: "Who can think without horror of what another widespread
war would mean, waged as it would be with all the new weapons of mass
destruction?"
Etymologies & Word Origins: Letter W

The term became popular in the US after World War II in reference to
atomic and hydrogen bombs. Since that time, use of the term has
varied in great degrees, however, it now is generally directed at any
weapons capable of killing large numbers of people.
Thanks again for a very interesting question and if you need any
additional clarification, please let me know.
