Chinese Discoveries and Inventions

Top Three Most Important Inventions of China That Still Influences our Culture Today
Our American society today relies on many things that the Chinese people have invented such as smallpox inoculation, paper money, and gunpowder . Without the Chinese stepping up and inventing these very urgent and historic uses our world would be very different. In my opinion these are the most important inventions that the world still uses today.
Three Most Important Discoveries/Inventions
Smallpox Inoculation
Without medicines we would be a world full of disease.
All thanks to Edward Jenner, for inventing a successful vaccine to save people today from smallpox.
Paper Money
China's impact on our world with paper money is astounding. Not only has it saved our purse or wallet space, but it has kept us from having to barter.
Gunpowder
Gunpowder has is yet again another amazing invention by China. Our world would already figure out some way to bomb other countries. With gunpowder it keeps the war zone 10 times cleaner.
Medieval Smallpox Inoculation
Back then vaccines and medicines were critical. Everyday hundreds to thousands of people died from diseases or sicknesses.
Medieval Paper Money
The world would have a problem carrying all these heavy coins that add up really quickly. Once again China saves our world by inventing paper money which we use everyday.
Medieval Gunpowder
After it was invented it was used for emergencies like...
A war, or a battle, or even execution. Now we use it for the military guns. Sadly some people use them in immature causes like shooting other people.
