Best Answer

The Western World is very dependent on oil, and account for the overwhelmingly majority of oil imports. Although some of the world's largest oil producing countries are in Europe (Norway, the United Kingdom, etc.), the majority of the oil used comes from the Middle East because this region dominates the oil market. Cutting off the trade route for oil from the Middle East to Europe would greatly damage Europe financially.
