John Davison Rockefeller was an entrepreneur and investor, industrialist, who worked in the world of the oil industry, reaching the point of monopolizing it. He was the founder and president of Standard Oil, a giant company that came to control the extraction, refining, transportation and distribution of more than 90% of US oil and held entire monopolies (in the form of investments) in multiple foreign countries.
His business achievements are as magnificent as they are controversial, because through cunning, ingenuity and a lot of dedication, he ascended in the business world, he built an extensive empire that extended to such an extent that no other company in history has managed to reach to this day. Noted for its monopolistic practices, it was denounced by journalists and investigators, and in the long run the United States government had to confront him, managing to take it to court and after years of litigation it was decided to separate the giant oil company from Rockefeller, separation that took a long time to materialize after being dictated.
The English Renaissance, which developed behind the success and ideals of the Italian Renaissance, flourished during the rule of Elizabeth I, the last Tudor monarch and her successor James I, the first Stuart monarch.
Like other countries of Europe that experienced this surge in culture, science, religion, and revolution, England produced great academic and social materials which not only influence their day, but all later periods of world history. Literary works by Shakespear and Christopher Marlowe, as well as the transformative scientific treatises by Francis Bacon, and humanist movements celebrated by early Reniassiance figures like Thomas More all highlight the different facets of the English Reniassance.
Transformations in religion can also attribued to the ideas of the Reniassance, while the Church of England was established mainly for political reasons, the ideas behind change in religion were well recieved among those in the Reniassance, as a result we see the emmergence of Calvinism and Protestantism in England.
