began exploring its military uses as early as the 900s, four centuries before the technology passed to the West. But by
the early 1800s, China had fallen so far behind the West in gunpowder warfare that it was easily defeated by Britain in
the Opium War of 1839-42. What happened? In The Gunpowder Age, Tonio Andrade offers a compelling new answer, opening a
fresh perspective on a key question of world history: why did the countries of western Europe surge to global importance
starting in the 1500s while China slipped behind?

Historians have long argued that gunpowder weapons helped
Europeans establish global hegemony. Yet the inhabitants of what is today China not only invented guns and bombs but
also, as Andrade shows, continued to innovate in gunpowder technology through the early 1700s--much longer than
previously thought. Why, then, did China become so vulnerable? Andrade argues that one significant reason is that it was
out of practice fighting wars, having enjoyed nearly a century of relative peace, since 1760. Indeed, he demonstrates
that China--like Europe--was a powerful military innovator, particularly during times of great warfare, such as the
violent century starting after the Opium War, when the Chinese once again quickly modernized their forces. Today, China
is simply returning to its old position as one of the world's great military powers.

By showing that
China's military dynamism was deeper, longer lasting, and more quickly recovered than previously understood, The
Gunpowder Age challenges long-standing explanations of the so-called Great Divergence between the West and Asia.
