Gunpowder was invented around 1040. The Chinese used gunpowder in the early 1230's to launch fireworks and in weapons.

Gunpowder was probably used for the first time in Europe during the Battle of Crécy in 1346. Historians do not know if this invention was carried from China to Europe or in The Europeans invented it independently.

The invention of gunpowder greatly changed the way men fought. The Medival knight could not defend himself against firearms and cannons. Knights were replaced by the foot soldier who carried firearms.

Between 1670 and 1729 William Congreve developed rockets to use during wars.

In the seventeenth century the gun was developed by the English and Dutch armies.

Don't ask people to help you with your homework when you should be doing it on your own, you should be able to USE a god damn search engine.
Not everybody here knows about history from the past.
