OPEC
The Arab Oil Embargo of 1973 on Western Countries.
The Arab oil embargo occurred from October 1973 to March 1974. It was initiated by members of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) in response to Western support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War. The embargo led to significant increases in oil prices and highlighted the vulnerability of oil-dependent economies, particularly in the West.
No. They were not happy in the slightest. They actually began an Oil Embargo on all Western countries for the US support of Israel.
Petroleum.As retaliation for US support of Israel, the Arab countries leveled an Oil Embargo on all Western Countries.
The Arab Oil Embargo of 1973 was a direct result of Arabs being infuriated that Western Nations supported Israel in the Arab-Israeli War of 1973.
The OPEC oil embargo of 1973 caused long lines at gas pumps in the US. This embargo was a response to Western support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War, leading to a severe shortage of oil and subsequent price increases.
The oil embargo of 1973 was imposed by the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) in response to the U.S. support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War. The embargo led to a significant increase in oil prices and caused widespread economic disruption in the U.S. and other Western nations, resulting in fuel shortages and long lines at gas stations. This event highlighted the vulnerability of oil-dependent economies and marked the beginning of a shift towards energy conservation and alternative energy sources in the affected countries.
The oil embargo, specifically the 1973-1974 oil crisis, lasted from October 1973 to March 1974, a total of about five months. During this period, OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) imposed an oil embargo against countries supporting Israel during the Yom Kippur War. This embargo led to significant increases in oil prices and fuel shortages in many countries, profoundly impacting global economies.
OPEC responded with an embargo of the United States (which had sent materiel to Israel in the late stages of that war), which resulted in the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973.

From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisis): The 1973 oil crisis began on October 17, 1973, when the members of Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC, consisting of the Arab members of OPEC plus Egypt and Syria) announced, as a result of the ongoing Yom Kippur War, that they would no longer ship oil to nations that had supported Israel in its conflict with Syria and Egypt (the United States, its allies in Western Europe, and Japan).
The 1973 energy crisis was caused primarily by a combination of factors, including the OPEC oil embargo, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and the increasing global demand for oil. The embargo, led by OPEC in response to Western support for Israel in the Yom Kippur War, reduced oil supply and led to skyrocketing oil prices and shortages in many countries.
