Up to the present, there have been many sudden increases in M&A and new waves will occur again when the economic crisis have been alleviated. The sudden increase in M&A a hundred years ago at the turn of the 20th century was probably the largest and most significant recorded in the United States. It established the vast bulk of large corporations that lead the American economy right up to the 1960s and 1970s. These included, amongst others, the GEs, the United States Steel Corporations, the GMs, Alexander Graham Bell’s AT&T, associated companies under Rockefeller, etc. This was also the case in Europe, for example, with Siemens. Since then, several other sudden increases in mergers have happened in European and the US. In the final years of the 1920s, many small firms merged establishing the bigger utility-chemical firms such as Steel-Union, the Interessen-Gemeinschaft Farbenindustrie AG, or its corresponding British firm, Imperial Chemical Industries. Furthermore, during this time several larger British and German banks merged. These developments resulted in a consolidation of the number of corporations in the market.
