History

Historical Context

The 1973 oil crisis began when the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) imposed an embargo in response to U.S. support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War. This led to a 300% increase in oil prices, causing economic turmoil in the U.S. and globally. The crisis reshaped energy policies and heightened geopolitical tensions, influencing today's U.S.-Iran relations.
