How would you say "The Standard Oil Trust?"

Question

"Rockefeller established the Standard Oil Trust."

How would I translate this from English to Spanish? I'm not sure if this form of "trust" is listed on here. Perhaps a word equal to the word "pact," I'm assuming?

Thanks!

Because this is the original name of the Trust and the original language is English, should I just make it say "Rockefeller establecía la Standard Oil Trust."?? - wad11656, Aug 25, 2009

Answer 1

Never mind, found the answer.

" En 1882 Rockefeller creó la Standard Oil Trust, que fue el primer trust del mundo"

Looks like they just use the word "trust."

Off the subject of Spanish, but given that you write that this was the first "trust" in the world, did you find out what a "trust" exactly is...What exactly did he found/create? - Janice, Aug 25, 2009

Answer 2

Yeah, that's what I found too, but that's not what they call the trust in Spanish countries. They just keep the original name. They do that with proper names derived from other countries often.

Thanks for the suggestion! Literally speaking, that is correct, yup. Thanks!

Answer 3

The standard oil trust - La confianza estándar de petróleo

I know this is the correct answer, as I found it on spanishdict.
