Early Modern warfare is associated with the start of the widespread use of gunpowder and the development of suitable weapons to use the explosive. It was first invented in China and then later spread to the Middle East. It then found its way into eastern Europe following the invasions of the Mongols who had employed Chinese gunpowder based weapons to conquer parts of Europe and the Middle East then into central and western Europe following the crusades when European forces discovered the substance from the Islamic forces they faced. This was prior to the 15th century on a limited basis, but became dominant in the Early Modern Age and lasted until the mid-19th century, with its apex during the Napoleonic Wars from 1792 to 1815. It was brought to the Indian subcontinent by the Middle East as well during the early modern era.

  • Early Modern warfare is associated with the start of the widespread use of gunpowder and the development of suitable weapons to use the explosive. It was first invented in China and then later spread to the Middle East. It then found its way into eastern Europe following the invasions of the Mongols who had employed Chinese gunpowder based weapons to conquer parts of Europe and the Middle East then into central and western Europe following the crusades when European forces discovered the substance from the Islamic forces they faced. This was prior to the 15th century on a limited basis, but became dominant in the Early Modern Age and lasted until the mid-19th century, with its apex during the Napoleonic Wars from 1792 to 1815. It was brought to the Indian subcontinent by the Middle East as well during the early modern era. The understanding of "gunpowder warfare", expressed here, comes from the works of Michael Roberts who argued that a military revolution occurred in the sixteenth century that forever changed warfare, and society in general. Since he wrote in the 1950s his narrative has been augmented and challenged by other scholars. When exactly the revolution occurred is debated, and whether it was revolution or a slow transformation is also discussed. (en)
  • La Guerra con la polvere da sparo è un concetto associato all'inizio della diffusione della polvere da sparo ed allo sviluppo di armi "pratiche" per l'uso di esplosivo . </br> Esordì in Europa e Medio Oriente prima del XV secolo su scala limitata, divenendo dominante nell'Età moderna e continuando fino a metà del XIX secolo. Raggiunse il proprio apice con le Guerre napoleoniche, ossia tra il 1792 ed il 1815 (concludendosi poi nell'ultimo quarto di quel secolo). Il filosofo inglese Ruggero Bacone fu considerato antesignano e sostenitore teorico della valenza innovativa della polvere nera, avendo discettato di aspetti strettamente tecnico-chimici in merito, pur nell'ambito di una produzione intellettuale che normalmente abbracciava argomenti apparentemente di maggior respiro generale.
