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.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Franklin Roosevelt is the correct answer.

The Executive order 9066 was issued by President Roosevelt during the World War ll in febuary 1942. It granted the secretary of war the power to declare any area as military area and relocate the people living there. The order was justified owning the reason of protection against esponage and natioal defence. Due to Pear Harbour attack suspicion fell on Japenese Americans, that is why mostly these people were relocated in Western United Sates. They were alowed to carry only whatever they could carry at the moment and rest of their assets were seized by the US Department of Treasury.

Why did George Washington make the risky move of crossing the Delaware River on Christmas night 1776?
Troyanec [42]
<span>Because he believed that if our nation would survive then we would need a strong government and the government needed rules to go by or they would basically monarch us. On September 14, 1786 Alexander Hamilton wrote the call for the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia to be held in May of 1787. George Washington was unanimously chosen to preside over the convention. Although he rarely spoke during the four month convention, his prestige gave it legitimacy. Also, after hours at the local taverns (visit City Tavern), Washington was very active in developing strategy behind the scenes. He had a major impact on the success of the Convention.</span>

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

U.S. policy toward the region of the Persian Gulf has changed more and more often over the years more than any other foreign policy I can think of. Current U.S. policy can be traced back more than half a century. This said, the most useful place to begin to understand how we arrived where we are today is to return to the late 1960s, when Great Britain decided it could no longer sustain its commitments east of Suez.
