In 1901, a millionaire London socialite, negotiated an oil concession with the shah (the king of Iran). He financed this with capital he had made from mines in Queensland.
In 1908, the employees struck oil.
The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company was the #UK's "single largest overseas asset" and a "source of national pride" in the 1940s.
In 1951, it was nationalized by the Iranian Parliament. The British cabinet organized a worldwide embargo of Iran.
In July 1952, the Royal Navy intercepted the Italian tanker Rose Mary and forced it into the British protectorate of Aden on the grounds that the ship's petroleum was stolen property. News that the Royal Navy was intercepting tankers carrying Iranian oil scared off other tankers and effectively shut down oil exports from Iran.
The #MI6 and the #CIA organized a "coup d’État" in 1953.
In 1954, the company was renamed to The #BritishPetroleum Company.
