6 0

The earliest days, it had to be soft metals, because the shape was made only through blunt force. The answer to this question relates to what forging techniques and knowledge were available to the given population at that time and place. As the most basic technique of hammering would be at the primitive end of the spectrum and it would also be the most readily available aspect, without any real guidelines or ability to judge the force needed to carry out the task, other than experience. Over time, forging techniques applied by heat and cooling in order to better mold and sculpt the metals accordingly. As well, some of the allows, or mixture of metals, which would come later and result in much stronger materials, could only happen because of advanced heat and pressure forging.

What happened after the french revolution, was the government the same or different?

Nuetrik [128]

A watershed event in modern European history, the French Revolution began in 1789 and ended in the late 1790s with the ascent of Napoleon Bonaparte. During this period, French citizens razed and redesigned their country’s political landscape, uprooting centuries-old institutions such as absolute monarchy and the feudal system. Like the American Revolution before it, the French Revolution was influenced by Enlightenment ideals, particularly the concepts of popular sovereignty and inalienable rights. Although it failed to achieve all of its goals and at times degenerated into a chaotic bloodbath, the movement played a critical role in shaping modern nations by showing the world the power inherent in the will of the people.
