Starting around 1000 BC, weapons were predominantly made of bronze, with the introduction of the sword and spear becoming widespread. By 800 BC, advancements led to the creation of the crossbow in China, while the Greeks developed the hoplite phalanx, utilizing shields and spears. The Iron Age, beginning around 1200 BC, saw the rise of iron weapons, enhancing durability and effectiveness in warfare. By 500 BC, the use of composite bows and cavalry tactics became more prominent, shaping military strategies for centuries to come.
