Answer:

Making a mixture of iron and aluminum in the manufacture of steel, will allow a cheaper and more resistant steel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steel is a metallic alloy made up of a mixture of iron and carbon, replacing iron with a mixture of iron and aluminum would cheapen the production of steel and cause it to be sold at a lower price, while maintaining strength and durability.

The adoption of iron and aluminum would promote a greater sale of this product, causing industries to increase its production, this would generate more jobs and strengthen the economy and the circulation of money in the country. As a result, the country would have more money to solve the problems that the war caused, mainly in the south of the country, which was suffering from serious socio-economic problems.
