In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began

in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.
Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall.

The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.

As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.

In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.

The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas.

How did the British Secret Service influence FDR? American methods of communication with the Allies?

MI6 was eclipsed in terms of intelligence by other initiatives. These were, in general terms:

The massive cryptology effort undertaken by the government and the cryptography school (CS), which was the office responsible for the interception and decryption of foreign communications based at Bletchley Park.

The extensive operation of the "deception" system of MI5 to give misleading information to the Germans.

The work of the photographic unit of recognition. The operation of MI6 was also affected by highly questionable decisions regarding operations, with an increase in risk situations for its own agents. MI6's most famous operation during the war was precisely a failure, known as the Venlo Incident (the Dutch city where it happened), where MI6 was tricked by agents of the German secret service, the Abwehr, who introduced themselves as army officers involved in a plot against Hitler.

In a series of meetings between the MI6 agents and the supposed conspirators, the plans of the German counterintelligence, in the hands of the SS, were to kidnap the MI6 negotiators, but they did not have the expected success due to the presence of the Dutch police, but in a meeting without the presence of the police, two MI6 agents were kidnapped by the SS. This great mistake significantly discredited the reputation of MI6. During the Second World War, the primitive SIS was nominally transformed into "MI6" when, under reorganization of military intelligence, the SIS became Section VI of Military Intelligence (Military Intelligence).

Despite the difficulties at the beginning of the war, MI6 recovered and developed important operations in occupied Europe and in the Far East and Far East where it operated under the name of "interservice deck cover department" (ISLD) . One of the main functions of MI6 during the war was to control the wireless communications systems and Ultra its great success to decipher the Enigma code used by the German Navy. (GC & CS).
