A Chinese monk named Li Tian invented fireworks about 1,000 years ago. The earliest recorded use of gunpowder in England, and probably the western world, is by the Franciscan monk Roger Bacon.

Legend has it that Marco Polo brought this new accidental invention to the West from one of his many trips to China and other Eastern countries
