China invented gunpowder (combustible powder), so why was it the European nations that went out and conquered the world using firearms?
This video looks at some geographical factors to examine what allowed Europe to innovate while China and most of the world fell behind with gunpowder weapons.
This focuses heavily on Kenneth Chase's Book, "Firearms: A Global History to 1700." He tries to get away from just looking at drill, organization, and state production of firearms to see how geography helped create the necessary conditions for those other innovations.
