Answer:

Gunpowder Empires or Islamic Gunpowder Empires refers to the Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires as they flourished from the 16th century to the 18th century. These three empires were among the strongest and most stable economies of the early modern period, leading to commercial expansion, and greater patronage of culture, while their political and legal institutions were consolidated with an increasing degree of centralisation. The empires underwent a significant increase in per capita income and population, and a sustained pace of technological innovation. They stretched from Central Europe and North Africa in the west to between today's modern Bangladesh and Myanmar in the east.

Answer:

The gunpowder was invented in the 1200s by the Chinese, who mixed potassium nitrate with carbon and sulfur to generate a substance that would function as the main detonating explosive in firearms. From this invention, the most important nations of each continent that managed to dominate this new technology increased their military capacity compared to the other nations, which instead maintained the old military systems and weapons, such as swords, bows and arrows, etc. In this way, nations like the Ottomans in the Middle East began to use this technology to expand their areas of influence and defeat their enemies.
