Phosphorus has been used for a variety of incendiaries. One of the most famous is the Molotov cocktail, a combination of phosphorus and gasoline in a bottle. This concoction was first used by the British government to prepare millions of its citizens in the event England was invaded by ground troops in World War II. The cocktails were stored in beer or milk bottles and quite often submerged in a nearby stream. When the bottle broke upon impact, the phosphorus ignited the gasoline to produce an effective and cheap explosive.
