During the 1970s, OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) significantly influenced the global oil trade by coordinating production levels and establishing higher oil prices. The 1973 oil embargo, in response to geopolitical tensions, led to skyrocketing prices and widespread energy crises in consuming nations, highlighting OPEC's power over oil supply. This shift not only increased revenues for member countries but also prompted industrialized nations to seek alternative energy sources and rethink their energy policies. Overall, OPEC's actions during this decade reshaped the dynamics of the global energy market.
