The trebuchet was replaced by the cannon due to advancements in gunpowder technology, which allowed cannons to deliver more destructive power and greater range than traditional siege weapons. Cannons could be moved more easily and required less manpower to operate compared to the large, complex mechanisms of trebuchets. Additionally, the ability to fire explosive projectiles and grapeshot made cannons more effective against fortified structures and troops, leading to their dominance in warfare by the late medieval period.
