Answer:

Andrew Carnegie was an American industrialist, businessman and philanthropist from Scotland. As a child, he emigrated from Scotland with his parents. He worked from a very young age on the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. At age 20 he became manager of the same railroad company and apprentice of Thomas A. Scott, owner of the Company. He created the Carnegie Steel Company in Pittsburgh, which later merged with the Federal Steel Company of Elbert H. Gary and with several smaller companies to create U.S. Steel. The fortune he earned from his businesses was spent on philanthropy and education, founding the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.  

Although Carnegie paid its employees the typical low wages of that time, he then donated most of his money to finance various libraries, schools and universities in the US, the United Kingdom and other countries, as well as to create pension funds for employees of more antiquity. He also dedicated money to philanthropy on local libraries, world peace and scientific research.

The correct answer is not were surprised to find German cities in ruins.

 

There are two dates that mark the end of World War II: May 8, 1945, in Europe, by the fall of Nazi Germany; and September 2 of the same year, in Asia, with Japan's surrender after the atomic bombs.

With six years of war, conflicts have left many regions devastated, damaging the economy of the countries involved.

With the victory of the allies, Germany and Italy were defeated, but Japan and the USA remained in conflict. According to the professor, there was continuity due to the strong spirit of militarization in Japan, which only the atomic bombs managed to force the end.
