in the 15th century countries of the European Continent started using gunpowder cannons and oceangoing ships to conquer land and it worked. gunpowder was invented by Chinese alchemists in the ninth century, and it was soon put to use in fireworks, bombs, rockets, and cannons. But while these new weapons terrified enemy soldiers, they didn’t kill all that many of them. Warfare remained largely a business of arrows, swords, and axes. It would be another 500 years before gunpowder weapons reached the point of development that their lethality dominated the battlefield and the boom of guns replaced the clash of steel as the ambient noise of war. This changed how many people lived in a positive and negative effect. Peoples land that got colonized obviously negatively effected but it was great for the people who colonized. and the effects of the cannon and gun poweder still live with land being other peoples.
