Best Answer

In 1973, the Arab nations imposed an embargo on oil shipments to the US and other Western countries because the US had aided Israel during the Arab-Israeli War of 1973.


The Arab states had attacked Israel during the Holy Day of Yom Kippur. The USA gave Israel enough military aid for the nation to defend itself. Since the USA kept Israel from being defeated and wiped off the map by the Arab nations, they put an oil embargo on the USA.
