![thumbnail.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVNe7x61U4u3pqoRoXfVnnvrL8qhiuJZBP26p66jVfz2q/thumbnail.jpg)
In Part 1 I informed you all of how the Rockefeller family started the oil rush and the story behind how Pennsylvania struck oil!
This post will be excerpts and a story line I obtained from How Big Oil Conquered the World, a very eye-opening documentary I watched recently. I highly recommend for you to subscribe to Corbett Report on Youtube to stay informed on the elitist's plans to take over our world!
Today we will be learning about how the Rothschild hatch a plan against Rockefeller to corner the market by creating oil tankers.

John Davison Rockefeller's Dream
The only ambitions this man could manifest is to make $100,000 and live to 100! Pretty specific in my opinion.
John D. receives a $1000 check from his father ("Devil Bill") and set off! Ready to make his fortune in the late 1850s
After reading about the oil business just starting to become profitable he was immediately interested.
It was a very volatile business at the time, similar to how Cryptocurrency markets are like now!
The Start Of Standard Oil
In 1863, after it was evident that the oil boom had begun
Rockefeller formed a partnership with fellow businessman Maurice B. Clark and Samuel Andrews, a chemist who had built an oil refinery but knew little about the business of getting his product to market. In 1865 the shrewd John D. bought out his partners for $72,500. (LINK)
He then continued to launched Rockefeller & Andrews in 1870.
It took him 5 years, but this was how Rockefeller incorporated Standard Oil!

Centralization of Power
In a way never seen before Rockefeller arranged to stop independent oilmen and individuals who wanted to drill in through the dirt and rock for oil!
His plan was to create a large company controlled by him which would control all oil acquirement, sale and distribution.
By 1870, Rockefeller was begging bankers for more loans. (LINK)
He first formed Standard Oil of Ohio.

Our Plan
Is what he called his campaign to dominate the entire oil industry!
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
In Just 9 Years...
Rockefeller is 40 and he controls 90% of all oil refining, globally.
In Just a Few More Years
He will control 90% of the marketing of oil and one whole third of the oil wells.
A Young Man With a Lot of Power
This was not national but an international monopoly in a commodity that is about to become the most important strategic commodity in the world economy. (LINK)
Nearing the 1880s, the entire American oil industry only comprised of the Standard Oil Company. And you already know that meant John D. Rockefeller controlled the entire industry, check mate monopoly as I like to call it.
Competition Arrives
Other well connected families wanted a piece of the action. All over the planet people tried to mimick the success of Standard Oil.
One such competitor emerged from the Caucasus in the 1870s, where Imperial Russia had opened up the vast Caspian Sea oil deposits to private development. (LINK)
Two families combined forces when this opportunity to claim their stake in what was becoming a leading resource for wealth!
The Elitist Families:
the Nobels, led by Ludwig Nobel and including his dynamite-inventing prize-creating brother.
the French branch of the infamous Rothschild banking dynasty, led by Alphonse Rothschild.
Oil Tankers Emerge
The plan was to ship their Nobel-supplied Caspian oil through the Suez Canal to East Asian markets.
This would become an immense project which has never been attempted before!
Sophisticated engineering and secrecy were the two key factors which would be vital to the success of the plan.
If Standard Oil knew of their devious plan they would surely hinder them from attempting anything by squeezing them out of the market, like they did when they first created Standard Oil.

In 1892, the first bulk oil tanker, the Murex, sailed through the suez Canal, en route to Thailand.
@chron's Persepective
I will be ever grateful that I discovered this documentary.
This is part 2 of an ongoing series, if you want to read part 1 Click HERE!
Today we discussed how the Rothschild family became involved in oil. This story relates back to Standard Oil and why oil tankers were first created.
In the next article we will discuss how the Rothschilds searched far and wide for a new source of oil, while competing with Standard Oil for control of the global trade!

Nice article. Found a typo though.
"It took him 5 years, but this was how how Rockefeller incorportated Standard Oil!"
There are 2 "how" 's and "incorporated" is spelled wrong. Just thought you might want to fix it. Great job though!
EDIT: Also at the bottom, you put "Without them the our"
Thank you very much for the heads up!
Changed it. Hope you enjoyed!
Steem on!
No problem at all! Just wanted to let you know because I saw that you put that bottom part on your articles so I figured it would look better. I do enjoy your articles though. Thank you for the time you put into them!
@chron,
Salutations! JaiChai here.
Being a fan of financial history, I enjoyed your post immensely. Thanks, buddy.
RE: Your Post
Frank Schuman - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Shuman - was an American inventor and proponent of solar energy in the late 1800's.
Then WWI and cheap petroleum happened.
Result?
"Skip that flaky, complicated solar tech stuff. Let's burn our nasty oil!"
When will humanity think of longevity vs. short-term profit?
Hope you and yours are well and loving life.
Namaste, my friend.
JaiChai
