Who created gunpowder?
The general consensus among historians is that gunpowder was invented in China in the 9th century. During the 10th century, the Chinese began to use a weapon called the "fire lance," one of the earliest confirmed gunpowder weapons. This invention was later followed by the invention of the mine, the cannon, and the firearm. From China, gunpowder spread to the Middle East, Central Asia, and Europe, where various peoples (Mongols, Arabs, Germans) improved on the original formula. Gunpowder aka black powder mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate / saltpeter, creates an expanding gas that is used as perpellant in items ranging from firework to weaponry (canons, firearm) and is also known as a low explosive material. The spread of gun powder across Asia from China is widely attributed to the Mongols. One of the first examples of Europeans encountering gunpowder and firearms is at the Battle of Mohi, between the Mongolians and the Hungarians. At this battle the Mongols not only used gunpowder in early Chinese firearms but in the earliest grenades as well.

What year was the canon made?
First used in China, cannon were among the earliest forms of gunpowder artillery, and over time replaced siege engines—among other forms of aging weaponry—on the battlefield. The first hand cannon appeared during the 1260 Battle of Ain Jalut between the Mamluks and Mongols in the Middle East. The first cannon in Europe were probably used in Iberia, during the Reconquista, in the 13th century, and English cannon were first deployed in the Hundred Years' War, at the Battle of Crécy, in 1346. It was during this period, the Middle Ages, that cannon became standardized, and more effective in both the anti-infantry and siege roles. After the Middle Ages most large cannon were abandoned in favor of greater numbers of lighter, more maneuverable pieces. In addition, new technologies and tactics were developed, making most defenses obsolete; this led to the construction of star forts, specifically designed to withstand artillery bombardment and the associated siege tactics.
