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.
