In what year did the Rothschilds and Royal Dutch/Shell merge together?

• A. 1908
• B. 1912
• C. 1920
• D. 1930

Answer: (B)

There isn’t a year when the Rothschilds merged with Royal Dutch/Shell. The oil company history shows a merger in 1907 between Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and Shell Transport & Trading Company, which formed Royal Dutch Shell. The Rothschilds were prominent bankers involved in many ventures, but they did not merge with Royal Dutch or Shell. So none of the listed years applies to a Rothschilds–Royal Dutch/Shell merger—the factual event to remember is the 1907 formation of Royal Dutch Shell.
