Gunpowder Empires
You might gift heard of gun powder, but do you know who invented it and when it was created. It was first created by the Chinese during the tang dynasty. This particular dynasty was active in the 18th century. Gunpowder contains 3 measur equal ingredients sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal. Ironically immediately we use pulverization to kill but before employ in weapons the Chinese thought it could bring round skin diseases. Soon after pulverizations total potential was discover. The Chinese then invented the cannon. Three major empires saw the power of these cannon and began to create and experimentation with this new technology.As known technology travel so did cannon building and separate small arms. This allowed the empires that invested in this technology to sustain and spread out and conquer to a greater extent lands. As these empires expanded they began to intrude on European cities. Naturally Europeans didnt prize the intrusion. The Europeans began to fight back a nd start wars, closemouthed importantly at the battle of capital of Austria. Vienna was a very important metropolis for the Ottoman Empire to conquer sightedness how it is the easy passage through the mountains to Europe, a sort of doorway. The Ottoman Empire attacks the trump they could fighting the Europeans.The fighting was so close that only the coherent waited martyrdom from Poland was able to save the Europeans from total disaster. Maybe if the ottomans gunpowder was more powerful and closer to todays formula they would have won. If the Calvary had never showed up the entire history of Europe would be different. Another practice is when the Ottoman Empire managed to conquer Istanbul. You may be wondering how anyone could get then(prenominal) the 50 by 40 can groynes of Istanbul. The Ottoman Empire developed bulky cannon. These cannon were cardinal six feet long and 18 inches thick. It shot carved pit balls that weighed in excess of six one C pounds.These alone w erent enough to publication down the wall however the ottomans came up with a clever strategy. What the ottomans did was build twenty six of these bad boys and divide them into triplet groups each group fired at one desired point on the wall with days of constant banging at one point the wall came down. The gunpowder undoubtedly changed history, even though some people believe that if gunpowder was never discovered the world would be a safer place. They might be practiced but I dont see how we could have reached this point in development without technology.
