101 Weapons that Changed the World

Taglines

Overview

From the catapult to the stealth fighter, the most basic and the most complex weapons alike have changed the course of history – and with it, our world. Whether it’s the Chinese fire tube or the US Air Force’s laser-guided smart bombs, weapons have enabled humans to be the ultimate predator at every corner of history and fueled the expansion of every empire. But despite the constant evolution of weapons with all their shock-inducing and awe-inspiring capabilities, some of the simplest weapons (such as the AK-47 with its nine moving parts) kill more people in one year (a quarter-million) than the combined deaths of the Atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 (160,000 combined). This is the ultimate countdown of every ‘boom’ and ‘bang’ since we began walking upright.

Overview

Van de katapult tot de stealth-jager: de meest basale en meest complexe wapens hebben de loop van de geschiedenis veranderd – en daarmee ook onze wereld. Of het nu gaat om de Chinese vuurbuis of de lasergestuurde slimme bommen van de Amerikaanse luchtmacht, wapens hebben de mens in staat gesteld het ultieme roofdier te zijn in elke hoek van de geschiedenis en hebben de uitbreiding van elk imperium aangewakkerd. Maar ondanks de voortdurende evolutie van wapens met al hun schok opwekkende en ontzagwekkende mogelijkheden, doden enkele van de eenvoudigste wapens (zoals de AK-47 met zijn negen bewegende delen) in één jaar meer mensen (een kwart miljoen) dan de gecombineerde doden door de atoombommen die in 1945 op Hiroshima en Nagasaki vielen (160.000 samen). Dit is het ultieme aftellen van elke ‘boem’ en ‘knal’ sinds we rechtop begonnen te lopen.

101 Armas Que Mudaram o Mundo

Taglines

Overview

Da catapulta à tecnologia stealth, as armas mais básicas e as mais complexas parecem ter mudado o curso da história, e com elas nosso mundo. Os seres humanos se tornaram os mais perigosos depredadores da história, em sua sede de alimentar e expandir impérios. Mas apesar da evolução constante das armas, muitas vezes a mais simples (como a AK-47, que só tem 9 partes móveis) têm tirado mais vidas em um ano do que as tiradas pelas bombas atômicas de Hiroshima e Nagasaki em 1945. Prepare-se para esta contagem regressiva com cada golpe, estrondo e disparo inventado na história do homem.
