No you’re thinking of daisy cutters, agent orange, and white phosphorus. Bombs can actually be quite good for the environment especially unexploded ordinance since it keeps people away. Though it can be bad for the local fauna.
Short of leveling a bunch of islands because the Japanese were doing a rather impressive impression of ticks I cant think of many examples of massive environmental impact caused by munitions. Maybe some the Germans and Soviets were chucking more artillery and explosives than I thought in eastern Europe but I can’t think of many other examples.
Shouldve gone with asking about WW1 because fuck did that land get scourged. I was mostly making a joke about how a lot of areas that are closed off due to undetonated munitions double as nature preserves.

You haven’t heard of world war 2?
