Black Powder in the World Wars
Developments in the material used in World Wars are always dependent on the technology available at a particular time.

Similarly, the First and Second World Wars saw significant improvement in the use of black powder, developed by the Chinese and viewed by many as a significant source of influence in the nature of the war.
