1973

In 1973, the Yom Kippur war in the Middle East sparked an 'oil crisis'.

Was this crisis genuine or a hoax?

Let's delve into the facts.

The war broke out after significant Israeli troop withdrawals.

The tide turned when the US, under Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, supplied Israel with top weaponry.

Amidst the chaos, the Arabs allegedly imposed an oil embargo, causing panic and long lines at US gas stations.

But was there really an oil shortage?
