In the sixteenth century Europeans had some of colonial federations in some other foreign countries such in Africa and Asia.

Therefore they got a lot of raw materials from the nature that they brought from Africa and Asia to Europe.

The days had gone until one day there was a gentle man named John Wesley Hyatt who was a famous inventor from New York accepted that ten thousand grand of dollars from those millionaires. Hyatt mixed two important chemical substances such alcohol and the other material that is called as nitrocellulose and then he added camphor into the two of those chemical substances. He also made a specific shape of mold that had a spherical shape and then pressed it under extreme pressure in order to create a brand new kind of pool ball.
