The Spanish depended a lot on bows and arrows while the English had a powerful new weapon—guns. This is a turning point in history. Soon, countries began using guns instead of narrows. But not all countries have given up the bow and arrow. They are still being used as weapons in certain parts of the world such as Africa and South America.
