Answer 1

Answer: 55

The 1973 oil crisis occurred when the members of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) proclaimed an oil embargo. The embargo was initially targeted towards Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States as the Arab countries believed these nations to be supporters of Israel during the Yom Kippur War.
