White Castle opened its doors in 1921, and the franchise set out to make a better name for the hamburger in a time when the ground meat patty had a bad name in popular culture. Ahead of its time, White Castle also allowed people to see their food being made, a first at the time. Franchising was introduced the same year when A&W Root Beer franchised its popular syrup. Combining these factors with Howard Johnson franchising its first restaurant in the 1930s, the stage was set for the takeoff of the industry. McDonald's opened its doors in 1948, instilling the first assembly-line-style restaurant, and from there, the fast food industry grew steadily for decades.Burger King and Taco Bell opened their doors in the 1950s, and Wendy's followed in 1969. Drive-through windows took off at fast food chains with the advent of speaker systems in the 1950s. By 2005, the fast food industry had sales totalling over $163.5 billion worldwide. McDonald's, as of 2014, has over 30, 000 franchised restaurants in 120 countries.With its success, the fast food industry has come under much scrutiny for selling unhealthy foods, marketing extensively and aggressively to children, and undermining local cultures and values in different parts of the world.

In the last third of the 19th century, new Technologies transformed the face of manufacturing in Europe, leading to new levels of economic growth and complex realignments among industry, labour and national governments. Like Europe’s first industrial revolution, which began in the late 18th century and centred on coal, steam and iron, this “second” industrial revolution relied on innovation in three key areas: steel, electricity, and chemicals. For instance, steel, which was harder, stronger and more malleable than iron, had long been used as a construction material. But until the mid-nineteenth century,producing steel cheaply and in large quantities was impossible. That changed between the 1850s and 1870s, as new and different processes for refining and mass-producing alloy steel revolutionized the metallurgical industry. Although iron did not disappear overnight, it was soon eclipsed by soaring steel production. So, steel began to be used for various purposes. In Britain, for example, shipbuilders made a quick and profitable switch to steel construction, and thus kept their lead in the industry. Germany and the US, however, dominated the rest of the steel industry. By 1901, Germany was producing almost half as much steel as Britain and was able to build a massive national and industrial
infrastructure.

A) the steel industry in Europe surpassed all the
