The Mideast Oil Crisis in the 1970’s:
In October 1973, Arab petroleum exporting countries cut off exports of petroleum to many Western nations, including the United States, in response to their involvement in the Arab-Israeli conflicts (阿以冲突). The embargo (贸易禁令) led to rising oil prices in the early 1970’s, bringing widespread panic to Western countries. Many people believe that high oil consumption in these countries was the root cause of the oil crisis. The Mideast Oil Crisis enhanced public environmental awareness and heightened public concern over natural resource scarcity.
