History

In the 19th century America borrowed money from Great Britain in order to build the railroad system. The main debt instruments used to borrow money were railroad bonds. This economic transaction was beneficial for both countries since the construction of railroads in America played a key role in the Industrial Revolution. This revolution helped develop the economy as it improved trade among different cities through the shipment of grains and cattle by railroad.  

As regards Great Britain, by investing in railroad bonds and later selling them, they were able to finance weapons and equipment for World War I.

Describe the Texas oil industry when oil was first discovered in Texas.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The Texas oil boom, sometimes called the gusher age, was a period of dramatic change and economic growth in the U.S. state of Texas during the early 20th century that began with the discovery of a large petroleum reserve near Beaumont, Texas. The find was unprecedented in its size (worldwide) and ushered in an age of rapid regional development and industrialization that has few parallels in U.S. history. Texas quickly became one of the leading oil-producing states in the U.S., along with Oklahoma and California; soon the nation overtook the Russian Empire as the top producer of petroleum. By 1940 Texas had come to dominate U.S. production. Some historians even define the beginning of the world's Oil Age as the beginning of this era in Texas.[1]
