Gunpowder is the first explosive substance mankind learned to use and was one of the four great inventions of ancient China. The Chinese used gunpowder as early as 800-1000 AD, for fireworks and later for weapons. It was not in widespread use in Europe until around the 1300s. Gunpowder reached Europe through the Silk Road trade.
The exploding shell is older than the cannon. Among the first uses of gunpowder was to create bombs or grenades- a casing filled with gunpowder and a fuse. This could be thrown, catapulted, slung, etc. Early cannon used shot (solid projectiles) or shell (hollow, gunpowder filled). In the Star Spangled Banner, the term "bombs bursting in air" refers to an exploding shell.
The Mongols used gunpowder primarily for military purposes, including the development of explosive projectiles and early firearms. They employed it to enhance their siege warfare tactics, using it in catapults and other siege engines to breach fortifications. Additionally, gunpowder allowed them to create fearsome weapons like bombards, which increased their effectiveness in battle and contributed to their rapid conquests across Asia and Europe.
The longbow revolutionized warfare by allowing archers to strike from greater distances with rapid fire, enabling armies to disrupt cavalry charges and target enemy formations effectively. Gunpowder further transformed combat by introducing firearms and artillery, which made traditional armor less effective and shifted the focus to fortifications and ranged combat. Together, these innovations diminished the dominance of heavily armored knights and changed military strategies, leading to more mobile and versatile forces. Consequently, they marked the transition from medieval to early modern warfare.
the Abbasid. The Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal were the only early modern Islamic empires
Early Modern warfare is associated with the start of the widespread use of gunpowder and the development of suitable weapons to use the explosive. The Ottoman empire, the Safavid empire and the Mughal empire were gunpowder empires which had striking periods of culture blooming, followed by sharp decline. Islamic societies were generally conservative, and did not undergo the kind of radical changes that occurred in Western world in politics and culture. Islamic societies produced a great deal of scientific work, but no scientific revolution; and commercial prosperity, but no industrial explosion. The European colonialism of 19th century went hand in hand with the relentless advance of Western industrial, commercial and military power, which began in the early modern world. The Shi'ite/Sunni division of Islamic world was also an enduring separation-which is still going on in Iran and Iraq right now.

The 'Early Modern' period referred to by historians is roughly the period from 1450-1750. This period is so-called as the Early-Modern period because this was the time that the Renaissance occured in Europe, where many new ideas, art forms, scientific discoveries were made that were the foundation stones of the making of the modern world.
