Rockfeller's Standard Oil Company was a point) that controlled more than 90 percent of the nation's refineries.
Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company was a monopoly that controlled more than 90 percent of the nation's refineries during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company, founded by John D. Rockefeller in 1870, quickly grew and acquired numerous smaller oil companies, consolidating its power in the industry.
By using aggressive business practices such as price-cutting and fierce competition, Standard Oil was able to dominate the oil market. The company controlled not only the refining process but also the transportation and distribution of petroleum products, giving it a stranglehold on the entire industry.
This immense control over the oil industry allowed Standard Oil to dictate prices and manipulate the market. Its dominance led to concerns about unfair practices, anti-competitive behavior, and the suppressions of smaller competitors. It ultimately resulted in the United States government taking action against the company.
In 1911, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the breakup of Standard Oil Company into 34 smaller, independent companies. This landmark ruling under the Sherman Antitrust Act marked the end of Standard Oil's monopoly power. Despite this breakup, many of the resulting companies, such as ExxonMobil and Chevron, still exist today as major players in the oil industry.
