nationalization

Policy of bringing a country's essential services and industries under public ownership. It was pursued, for example, by the UK Labour government 1945-51. Assets in the hands of foreign governments or companies may also be nationalized; for example, Iran's oil industry (see Abadan), the Suez Canal, and US-owned fruit plantations in Guatemala, all in the 1950s.
