The embargo caused an oil crisis, or "shock", with many short- and long-term effects on global politics and the global economy.

The first occurred in 1973, when Arab members of OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) decided to quadruple the price of oil to almost $12 a barrel (see Arab oil embargo). Oil exports to the United States, Japan, and western Europe, which together consumed more than half the world’s energy, were also prohibited.

This drastic change in the value of the dollar is an undeniably important factor in the oil price increases of the 1970s.
