How oil turned the motors of capitalism a history?

Oil turned the motors of capitalism into a super powerful engine that made everything go faster and farther.

Imagine you have a toy car. It goes vroom when you push it, but if you give it a little gas, like oil, it zooms off like lightning! Oil is like that special gas. It gives machines the energy they need to work hard and keep going all day long.

Back in the old days, people used horses and carts to move things around. But when they found oil, everything changed. They could dig it up, put it into big machines called engines, and suddenly, cars, trains, and factories were running like crazy! This made a lot of money for the people who had oil, just like if you had a secret way to make your toy car go super fast, and everyone wanted one.

Because oil gave so much power, big companies started growing and growing. More people got jobs, cities became bigger, and more things were made than ever before. That’s how capitalism, a fancy word for how businesses grow and make money, really took off!
