Dynamite was one of the most significant inventions during the Industrial Revolution. During this time period, workers in mines had no other powerful devices. The invention of dynamite allowed workers an easier way to blast rocks. Also, people used nitroglycerin in this time period. Nitroglycerin was very easy to explode and led to a lot of accidents which killed people. Thanks to the invention of dynamite, people could work in better working conditions.

Progress of the weapon
After the success of dynamite in the mines, people from the military showed an interest in it. They were extremely surprised by its power. In the beginnin of the 18th centure, Military Departments started to organize an important experiment studying potential uses for dynamite. They investigated and researched about dynamite until they got the result that they wanted. After developing dynamite as a perfect weapon, military departments started to throw dynamite into the enemy’s quarters. One of the weopons developed that used dynamite was the dynamite gun. Although it had several drawbacks, the idea of the dynamite led to the inverntion of new weapons later.
