| 報告概要 | What caused China and Japan to discontinue their impressive gunpowder weapons innovations, which contributed to the Rise of the West? From the 14th century the West competed with itself and rapidly developed gunpowder weapons. China invented gunpowder and eventually developed explosive bombs and cannon. Japan adopted firearms and in the 16th century developed them rapidly. Part of the answer to how such a large military technological gap could appear between China/Japan and the West has to do with what caused China and Japan to discontinue their development. Here I analyze internal political institutions in proposing part of the answer. |
