I wonder....what would be the historical implications of the total abscence of gunpowder? No Matchlocks. No Cannons. No Dynamite. No Missiles and so forth. How would the nature of warfare and history be? I can imagine it would mostly be the same up to a point but then the differences would begin to butterfly out of context.
