A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Safavid Empire's adoption of gunpowder technology — a story that goes far beyond the battlefield. Lucas explains how the Safavids acquired and manufactured cannons and muskets, from the Ottoman siege of Tabriz in 1534 to the development of a state-run arsenal under Shah Tahmasp I. They discuss the strategic deployment of artillery against the Uzbeks and the Portuguese in the Persian Gulf, and how gunpowder shifted power from nomadic cavalry to centralized infantry. Lucas reveals the social and economic impacts: the rise of a new class of gunners, the taxation needed to fund the arms race, and the eventual technological stagnation that left the empire vulnerable. The episode also touches on the famous artillery pieces cast in Isfahan, including the massive bronze cannons still visible in Naqsh-e Jahan Square. By the end, listeners will understand how gunpowder both strengthened and ultimately undermined one of the great early modern empires.
