In 1875 Alfred Nobel made C4 explosives for the first time. He did not know then the impact the explosive would have on the world and ended up putting funds he gained into a prize that individuals can win for peace keeping efforts.

How did the explosive device the Chinese invented change warfare?
Before the explosive devices were invented, fighting completely required strength (for example using swords, arrows etc.) and never relied much on heat to kill the enemy. The invention of the explosive devices changed this.

How did people use c-4 during the Vietnam war?
In the Vietnam War, it was a plastic explosive used to get rid of unwanted ordnance (destruction of duds and bad explosives, ammunition, etc.). However, unofficially, and heavily discouraged by the US Army, nearly every single GI in the field used it to cook their C rations with. And every GI knew not to put it out by stomping on it, he'd lose his foot to an explosion if he did that. C4 could cook your C rat can of beef slices with pototoes and gravy within about 120 seconds, and probably less time. The Army began issuing "heat tabs" (heat tablets) to replace the heavy uses of C4 for cooking, by saying C4 was too expensive for that purpose, which it probably was, however, the more important reason was most likely that C4 could cause death & injury if it went off. In contrast to the C4, the heat tablet took forever to light, could ONLY be lit by a direct flame, and could not be used inside a tank or tent or other enclosed structure as it let out a gas that heavily burned your eyes and lungs. The flame was also of a very low intensity and it took many minutes to cook a can of C rats, when C4 could do it within seconds, even within the turret of a tank (but not even tank crewmen liked using C4 inside an enclosure).

How does C4 work?
C4 is an explosive compound known as RDX that is coated with a plastic binder. The plastic basically serves as both an protector for the explosive, and as an malleable feature for it. Since the explosive has a coating of plastic over it, to set off C4, a blasting cap or wire is usually inserted into the explosive, and a jolt of electricity sent through it to set the RDX off.
