Ranger Oil Boom

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Ranger_Oil_Boom

The Ranger Oil Boom started on October 17, 1917, after oil was discovered at the J.H. McCleskey No. 1 drill well when oil roared up from 3,342 feet (1,019 m) below ground in Ranger, Texas. The strike was notable because the threatened exit of Soviet Russia from World War I meant a lot of oil output was lost to the Allies. Before WWI Russia accounted for 30% of the world's oil production, more than any other country. On December 15, 1917, an armistice between Soviet Russia and the Central Powers was concluded. According to a story from USA Today, the oil from the Ranger Oil Strike helped win World War I. rdf:langString
