when a war was going off !!!and they used gun powder to defend back :)
I'm guessing you mean why it was not used for defense or weaponary. The answer is that the Chinese did not find a weaponary use for gunpowder, they used it mainly for fireworks. The Europeans were the first to use gunpowder for weapons.
Gunpowder was invented by the Chinese and came to Europe by the 1200's. So, it was used well before the Renaissance.
No, the Chinese used gunpowder before the Mongols did. So did the Jurchens, who conquered northern China in the early 1100s. The Mongols undoubtedly acquired knowledge of gunpowder weapons from the Jurchens and the Chinese.
Gunpowder NEVER WAS used to make guns.
Evidence has been found that gunpowder began to be used in weapontry as early as 960 AD in the Northern Song Dynasty of China. Gunpowder was used in early cannonballs and as wicks for flame throwers and bombs. Metal weapons, which were a predecessor to firearms were used in the Yuan Dynasty as early as 1271. These weapons were all used during the early wars between the different kingdoms of China. The unification of China is believed, by some, to be the result of gunpowder. Says the fag you listen too.

It was used to make fireworks, small bombs, explosives,firearms,and cannons .
Actually, no. If my memory serves, the Mongolians were first to use gunpowder weaponry. The Europeans adopted this adaptation from them because of the Mongolians spanned an empire from East Asia to Eastern Europe. But I'm sure the Mongolians were the first to use gunpowder.
European explorers began to use gunpowder in order to take slaves captive. This was first done on the continent of Africa.

One of the first propellants used for rockets was gunpowder, which dates back to ancient China. Gunpowder, a mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate, provided the explosive force needed to propel early rockets.
