A Leap Forward: Gun Powder

By: Deanna Solari

     The Yuan dynasty has been the first dynasty in the world to use and make gunpowder. We have experimented with many types of substances and made gunpowder. We used it for fireworks so why cant we try using it in war? If we do try to use it in war it with be against Japan our worst enemy! We can not wait to used this it could be a great leap forward in weapons for the Yuan dynasty. We use the metal tubes to shot the gunpowder out of just like fireworks, and many people could be seriously injured using fireworks. We will spread the invention down the silk road to ensure the defeat of Japan and have every one fear the Yuan.

    Gunpowder was invented in the 13th century  and was later used in India. Gunpowder was first used and invented in China. It moved west along the silk road and when the ideas spread to other countries they started using it as well. This is how gunpowder spread across the world.

    Gunpowder has change our lives in many way two of the most well know ways are fireworks and wars. We use gunpowder in fireworks for enjoyment on the fourth of July. We use gunpowder to defeat our enemies in war. That is how gunpowder changed our lives.
