What I Want To Know About My Topic

I have many questions for my topic and I am sure I will have more before I am finished with it but my main question is How has military weapons changed over time? I also have questions that go with this question.

• What types of weapons did ancient civilizations use in their armies?
• What types of weapons did the roman empire use?
• When were the first rifles invented?
• What weapons were used during the civil war?
• What types of weapons are we currently using in the military

What I Already Know About My Topic

I know that ancient civilization didn't have the same technology we have today but they had spears and bows and arrows.  As the Europeans came to America they started learning how to make rifles and pistols.  Then in the 1940's America invented the atomic bomb. As of right now the militaries of the world continue to grow smarter about how to make weapons like trip mines and grenades.

The Story Behind My Topic

I have always wondered what types of weapons people use in the military from the past and present.  I have read alot about how people from ancient times had wars, so i wanted to know what they used to have wars with.  Also I am taking JROTC and was wanting to get a head start and know a little bit about the military. My grandpa was also in the military and I wanted to what weapons he was assigned also. That is why i chose my topic about military weapons.
