I think Gunpowder truly changed the face of the battlefield. It reduced old Castles to ruin, it eventually defeated even the most dense of body armor (until modern times), and resulted in things like the Machine Gun and Artillery Cannons.
I think Gun Powder had the most influence out of all weapons/implements.

yes gun powder did influence and start modern day technoligy for the various types of guns we use but the h-bomb doesnt use gunpowder up till now many battles were fought because casualty would not be as high as a nuclear bomb or as massive

Absolutely. Everything before it was Stone Age (Ok, maybe Bronze Age) and everything after it used it or one of it's derivatives.

Do you know what the H-Bomb uses as a detonator?
An A-Bomb.

A derivative of Gun Powder.
