now, you'll remember that the middle east was created really at the breakup of the ottoman empire by france and britain, and the oil industry was already there and interested in the resources. so in 1928 when oil was found in iraq, the big oil companies, the seven -- they're called the seven sisters named after a greek mythological story of atlas' daughters who fought amongst themselves. but there was ever an attack on one of them, they all gathered round and protected her. so they were nicknamed the seven sisters, and that's kind of how they behaved. so when this oil was found in iraq, there was a lot of overproduction. so the seven sisters got together in one of their cabals, drew a red line around the middle east, made an agreement amongst themselves that they would only go in and drill for oil as -- jointly. they would never go in alone. this was so that they could watch one another. and that they would actually limit production, fix prices and break basic antitrust laws. now, soon after this agreement was made the three largest of the seven sisters -- exxon, bp and shell -- met at a ca
