The 1973 Oil Embargo
Title
The 1973 Oil Embargo
Description
To protest American support for Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur War between Egypt and Syria and Israel, OPEC cut off oil exports to the United States. This caused gas prices to surge, long lines at gas stations, and the American economy to suffer.
