The British began using rockets as weapons in the late 1700's, but they were inaccurate in their aim. The main purpose for the Brit's using rockets was to reduce enemy morale.
The Tippoo Sultan of Mysore, India famously used 1000's of rockets in defending Seringapatam (a huge well defended fortress) against the British in 1799.
Editor's Note: The rockets were used by the Brits to siege ports. Isaac newton was the developer of the rockets they used. Another fellow improved the rockets adding the fins so they would spin into the direction they wanted to the rockets to go. This technology is still used today. Rockets are still used for "shock and awe" or to confuse the enemy. We use rockets now primarily to send satellites into outer space.
