Bronze weapons

Bronze weapons refer to tools and arms made from bronze, an alloy of copper and tin. Emerging in the Bronze Age (around 3300-1200 BC), these weapons marked a significant advancement over earlier stone weapons due to bronze's durability and ability to be sharpened. Common bronze weapons included swords, spearheads, and shields, which gave armies greater effectiveness in combat. The use of bronze also influenced social structures, as societies capable of producing these advanced tools often gained military and economic advantages, leading to changes in power dynamics and trade relationships during that era.
