Explosive history of mankind. How chemistry becomes a weapon

The use of fire opened many possibilities for mankind and changed their lives forever. Gradually, new substances such as gunpowder, Greek fire, explosives and firearms were invented, revolutionizing military technology. Gunsmiths, alchemists and chemists continued to experiment, combining different elements and obtaining unexpected reactions and explosive mixtures. In today's world, we have access to war poisons and nuclear weapons, as well as an eternal source of energy, but at the same time we face the possibility of man-made disasters and radiation contamination. The future depends on our understanding and use of these technologies.
