Many great discoveries have been made by chance but some have been the result of human perseverance and ingenuity. A sterling example of the second case is quinquina that was discovered in Peru and is now produced in Java. Quinquina has gone through centuries without losing its medical efficacy that efficacy allowed the exploration and colonization of Africa and played a key role in the ability to conduct overseas military campaigns. Because of its strategic importance, it was a coveted resource. It led to the discovery of homeopathy and dyes, allowed the development of organic chemistry, and has been used to make alcoholic bitters and soft drinks.
