The government was successful in gaining an antitrust conviction in the Alcoa case. In 1945, the U.S. government filed an antitrust suit against the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa), accusing the company of monopolizing the aluminum industry. The case went to trial, and in 1948, a federal judge ruled in favor of the government, ordering Alcoa to divest some of its assets and operations. This case set a precedent for antitrust enforcement in the United States.
