Without gunpowder, the course of history would have been dramatically different. The absence of firearms would likely have led to prolonged conflicts using traditional melee weapons, potentially resulting in different power dynamics among nations and empires.

Additionally, without gunpowder, the Industrial Revolution might have taken a different trajectory, impacting economic and social structures globally.
