This Chemical Changed the World

How did three simple ingredients change the course of world history? In 9th-century China, Taoist alchemists searching for immortality accidentally discovered gunpowder — a mixture of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. What began as a chemical experiment soon transformed warfare across Eurasia. From the fire lances of the Song dynasty to the cannons used at the Battle of Crécy… From the fall of Constantinople under Mehmed the Conqueror to the artillery that helped Babur establish the Mughal Empire… Gunpowder reshaped warfare, empires, and the global balance of power. This video explores how the invention of gunpowder spread across continents and changed the world forever.
