Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, and emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1848.

Carnegie gave most of his money to establish many libraries, schools, and universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries, as well as a pension fund for former employees.

Falling on very hard times as a handloom weaver and with the country in starvation, William Carnegie decided to move with his family to Allegheny, Pennsylvania in the United States in 1848 for the prospect of a better life.

Carnegie made his fortune in the steel industry, controlling the most extensive integrated iron and steel operations ever owned by an individual in the United States.

The holdings were incorporated in the United States Steel Corporation, a trust organized by Morgan, and Carnegie retired from business.

In 1881, Carnegie took his family, including his 70 year-old mother, on a trip to the United Kingdom.

To counter what he perceived as imperialism on the part of the United States, Carnegie personally offered $ 20 million to the Philippines so that the Filipino people could buy their independence from the United States.

Carnegie also opposed the annexation of Cuba by the United States and in this, was successful with many other conservatives who founded an anti-imperialist league that included former presidents of the United States, Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison, and literary figures like Mark Twain.

In total Carnegie funded some 3, 000 libraries, located in 47 US states, and also in Canada, the United Kingdom, what is now the Republic of Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, the West Indies, and Fiji.

He gave a further $ 10 million in 1913 to endow the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust, a grant-making foundation.

He founded the Carnegie Hero Fund for the United States and Canada in 1904 ( a few years later also established in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, and Germany ) for the recognition of deeds of heroism.

" Afterwards, the company successfully resumed operations with non-union immigrant employees in place of the Homestead plant workers, and Carnegie returned to the United States.

Besides Carnegie ’ s market manipulation, United States trade tariffs were also working in favor of the steel industry.

Throughout the 1880s and 1890s, for example, Carnegie allowed his steel works to fill large orders of armor plate for the building of an enlarged and modernized United States Navy ; while he opposed American oversea expansion.

On the matter of American annexation, Carnegie had always thought it is an unwise gesture for the United States.
