The Ramadan/Yom Kippur War affected several western nations when the Arab oil-producing countries imposed an embargo on all the oil exports to the western nations of Portugal, Holland and the United States. This resulted in a shortage of petroleum in the U.S and the quadrupling of gas prices in most of the western nations.
