John D. Rockefeller's oil company, Standard Oil, was termed a monopoly because it controlled a significant portion of the U.S. oil industry, dominating production, refining, and distribution. By employing aggressive tactics such as undercutting competitors' prices and acquiring rival companies, Standard Oil eliminated competition and established a near-total market share. This led to concerns about unfair business practices and the negative impact on consumers, prompting the government to regulate monopolistic behavior, ultimately resulting in the company's breakup in 1911.
