Historically, | Historically, Napalm is a mixture of chemicals which, when mixed with gasoline and compressed, makes a sticky incendiary gel. Developed by the U.S. in [[World War II]] by a team of Harvard chemists led by Louis Fieser, its name is a combination of its original ingredient's names: | ||
*Aluminum salts of '''na'''phthenic and '''palm'''itic acids. | |||
The name has since evolved from just the gasoline and Napalm gel, to mean any substance that causes intense fires upon ignition. | |||
