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.
