From what I've read about WW1 the reason that the CWC was signed in 1928 (and again, the U.S. did not ratify it until 1974 and them promptly excluded itself from most of it) was because when they were using the "mustard gas", the wind would shift and end up killing our own troops!
I know I'm sounding a bit cynical, but I think that was the main reason in the beginning.
I'm pretty sure that the French and Germans didn't really care how many civilians they were killing of each other's countries at the time. They were happy about that.
Hell, once they overran a town or city they killed tons of civilians anyway just out of spite. (like soldiers do in all wars)
