Hello, Dracko
I'll skip Eisenhower, the 18th century, the Industrial Revolution, and slam back to 200 BC through AD 200. While the Romans certainly did produce iron, they were far behind a Han China that built gigantic foundries during this period, especially in the Southlands. The amount of ore refined in China was the largest smelting operation in the world. I refer you to Sima Quan, Vol. 2, the Han Dynasty.
Have a nice Industrial day. :whistle:
