Very recommendable! About the Baku oil fields. Nobel brothers were involved. First oil tanker developed. Workers were treated and compensated relatively well including profit sharing, housing, libraries, and free education.
The workers of the Baku oil fields even prevented the arrest of the remaining Nobel brother by communist revolutionaries! What a story!
World War I was fought over and with crude oil. Artillery shells required TNT made from crude oil. The rapid mechanization during World War I further increased the demand for crude oil.
The Soviet Union supplied Hitler the crude oil he needed for his war efforts until he attacked the Soviet Union.
The video also suggests that rock bottom oil prices in the 1980s brought down the Soviet Union and its empire, because the Soviet Union depended on oil revenues.
