Disney's $71 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox in 2019 gave it control of franchises including Avatar and The Simpsons, rapidly expanding its content library for Disney+.
Exam Focus
Always identify the type of integration (horizontal/vertical/conglomerate) in M&A questions — omitting this loses a classification mark.
