How Did Civilizations Build Steel

Having geographical advantages, agricultural advantages, and then advantages in having domestic animals allowed civilizations like Spain to get more, and more, and more time to spare away from food harvesting. One of the amazing things that this spare time allowed them to do was to develop steel. Having steel allowed them to develop amazing new technologies, like strong and flexible tools, weapons and armor, steel railways and steel trains, and steel reinforced tall buildings that could tower over their old brick dwellings. These technologies can and did give civilizations like Spain the power to decimate other civilizations, and appropriate their resources. The reason they were able to develop steel was because of people known as specialists.
They had all the requirements but one: the Incas did not have any iron. By only the fault of geography, and by no fault of their own, the Incas could not make steel, but they did have a lot of gold. Since gold is a soft and weak metal, it was only used for decoration by the Incas. When the Spanish came with their steel swords, steel armor, and steel ships, and decided to take the gold, the Incas could only defend it with their bronze and stone weapons. This fight was no contest for the Spanish, their steel weapons easily defeated the stone and bronze weapons of the Incas. Having steel gave Europeans the ability to make better fighting equipment and faster, more efficient transportation systems. Having better fighting equipment gave Europe an advantage in fighting and taking over other civilizations, while things like steam engines and steel ships allowed Europe to transport goods farther and faster, causing them to have a more dynamic economy. Easier fighting and easier movement of resources gave Europe huge advantages when it came to decimating other cultures and appropriating their
