Indians taught Europeans the use of rockets in warfare

In 1792 the weapon suppliers of Tipu Sultan designed and successfully developed the first iron-cased rockets. These were used by Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan, rulers of the kingdom of Mysore, against the East India Company during the Anglo-Mysore Wars. The British then spread this technology around the world.
