- barry-cotter 5y ago> The Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC) was a British company founded in 1909 following the discovery of a large oil field in Masjed Soleiman, Iran. The British government purchased 51% of the company in 1914,[1] gaining a controlling number of shares, effectively nationalizing the company. It was the first company to extract petroleum from Iran. In 1935 APOC was renamed the "Anglo-Iranian Oil Company" (AIOC) when Reza Shah Pahlavi formally asked foreign countries to refer to Persia by its endonym Iran. > Fate Became "British Petroleum Company", assets nationalised by the Iranian government https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Persian_Oil_Company https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Persian_Oil_Company
