In 1740 Benjamin Huntsman developed a way to
manufacture steal, but the process impacted the quality
and quantity of the steal.
The British steel developer Henry Bessemer produce a
way to produce the greatest amount of steel than other
ways used before.
He develop the Bessemer converter and it melted
down the iron ores to produce steel. It was later
upgraded to be able to tilt his was known as the fast
action tilting Bessemer converter to tilt and pour the
melted iron ore out.
With the Bessemer converter made they were able to
converter twenty five tons of iron

It converted high phosphorus local iron ore in to steel
which made Swedish iron less useful to the British.
After they made the melted iron ore they put the
melted iron in a furnace and after twenty minutes it
made the iron ore into solid steel.

Steel was used to improve the railroad tracks from
standard regular iron tracks to steel rails for the trains
to move on.
They were also used in the construction of structures;
they used the steel to produce the first skyscraper with
ten floors and nails.
With the ships in the ship yards they started to make
them out of steel so the strength of the boat would
have a stronger frame.

Today we use steel for building giant skyscrapers that
reach over ten stories some reaching several dozen
stories.
They are also used for the weapons that we developed
for the war in Afghanistan and Iraq and armor plating
that the soldiers wear inside their chest plating and
armor to the cars that they get around in.
They even use it in the planes support beams to keep
outside coverage in place.

workers inside the steel mills were always sweating
from the heat of the Bessemer converter.
The shifts in their jobs lasted twelve hours every day of
the week and the workers only have one day off the
fourth of July.

The steel that was manufactured was later used in war
to make guns and weapons of mass destruction or
WMD for short.

It is stronger and able to take more of a punishment
than iron.
Its used to the frames of builds, planes, cars, trains and
the boats that we use today get around the world with
and the structures that we work inside of to have a
stronger foundation for buildings and transportation.
