Our history is War. List of the Largest Battles in history.

Chinese didn't produce militarize gunpowder. It was mostly for fireworks.

It were Arabs who militarized the gunpowder and changed the course of war forever.

Majority of Chinese "wars" weren't military campaigns but rather civil wars where one chinese group attacked and murdered another Chinese group..

I call it as stealing a history.

Ming army and navy were the world first and most widely use of gunpowder weapons, earlier than the rest of the world.

If you ever visit West and study here, you'll see everyone teaching what I've written. That is, Chinese invented gun powder but Arabs militarized it and it is from there Europeans got it. College history classes focusing on Middle-Ages also teach the same thing.

So don't blame me

I know. Most of the school material in the world are taken from the Western academic source...and most surprising, Taiwan school as well.

Young Taiwanese students learn history narrative that mock Chinese stupidity, because we don't want to open our country to be colonized like India.

I don't know about the mainland lesson about Chinese history. May be mainland can save Taiwan.

I totally agree here.

Asians, Muslims, Arabs, Chinese, Indians etc should come out of this 'mental slavery/mental colonization' of West and define our own history our own way..not how West defines it for us...because in this way, we will ALWAYS remain "under" West psychologically.

Coming back to your point though, there can be gun powder weapons used by Chinese before Ming..Ming Empire existed in 14th century etc..but there must be records of Chinese using weapons before that.

Here is a list of the largest wars fought in all history:

• 10,000,000 – Era of Warring States (475 BCE–221 BCE)

I think a lot more people died during the Spring and Autumn period before the Warring states period.
