Europeans improved gunpowder by refining its components, particularly by using higher-quality saltpeter, which increased its potency and reliability. They also experimented with different ratios of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur, leading to more effective formulations. Additionally, advancements in artillery and weapon design, such as the development of cannons and rifles, further enhanced the performance and application of gunpowder in warfare. These changes significantly altered military tactics and contributed to the rise of powerful nation-states in Europe.
