The Bessemer process was used in order to produce steel from wrought iron. The process involved numerous patents issued from 1855 to 1857 by an English inventor named Sir Henry Bessemer. It changed the steel industry and inspired further developments in steel making. Its impact reached beyond imagination. It led to greater industrialization, changed the landscape of cities, and forged the modern era. Before the Bessemer process, steel had been known as a luxury metal. Many saw it as a high valued steel because production of it cost huge amount of time and labor. Back then, steel could only be made in small quantities. Wrought iron had to be infused with carbon in order to produce blister steel. Then, the blister steel had to be melted in small clay crucibles before being heated to extreme temperatures. During the process, carbon spread throughout the blister steel and creating a steel. However, the process could only produce small amounts of steel. In addition, it required numerous crucibles and artisans in order to manufacture substantial amounts. Hence, steel in large quantities using the old method resulted to expensive prices.

The primary reason it was so important was it was the first time someone had come up with an inexpensive way to manufacture mass quantities of steel.

Disillusioned with war after WWI, the US took a foreign policy role called....

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

The foreign policy adopted by the US after WWI was isolationism.

In the wake of the Great Depression and disillusioned with the effects of WWI, the US was moved to step back from giving any opinion in public affairs.

Congress passed the isolationism acts after WWI. Under this, they decided not to involve in any European and Asian matters. The US decided to untangle its political ties after WWI. With the nation being affected by the Great Depression and the losses that occurred during the war, the US took a foreign policy role called isolationism. Thus option A is correct.

What did the national constituent assembly do after the storming of the bastille

Rzqust [24]

The Storming of the Bastille (French: Prise de la Bastille [pʁiz də la bastij]) occurred in Paris, France, on the afternoon of 14 July 1789. The medieval fortress, armory, and political prison in Paris known as the Bastille represented royal authority in the center of Paris. The prison contained just seven inmates at the time of its storming, but was seen by the revolutionaries as a symbol of the monarchy's abuses of power; its fall was the flashpoint of the French Revolution.
