Origins of Gunpowder and Early Chinese Cannons

Over the last several centuries, one of the weapons that has defined warfare has been artillery. 

It was used in the conquest of Constantinople by ships on the high seas, reached its apex during the First World War, and is still being used today. 

What has allowed this weapon to remain in use for so long is technological advancements, which have made artillery more accurate, powerful, and deadly.
