The OPEC oil embargo completely stopped the exports of oil to the United States. The decision was taken by the 12 members of OPEC on October 19, 1973, in retaliation for the U.S. decision to re-supply the Army of Israel. What happened then was that <u>oil prices quadrupled</u> in the subsequent months. The embargo ended in March 1974.
After the embargo, the United States set in motion measures to conserve and develop domestic energy sources. The government created the <u>Strategic Petroleum Reserve</u> and limited the speed in highways to 55-miles-per-hour.

Imperialism is a political and military philosophy in which one country or government seeks to conquer other countries and societies and bring them under the control or influence of the invading country.
Imperialism is often associated with the economic theory of mercantilism, in which the conquering country (known as the metropole) becomes the center of manufacturing and production while the conquered countries (the colonies) become the suppliers of raw natural goods. Under a mercantilist system, the point of having colonies is to enrich the metropole.
Imperialism takes a number of forms. There's settler colonialism, where a metropole established colonies to gather raw goods or resources (New York and Jamestown are examples). There's religious imperialism, in which a country invades other countries for the purposes of spreading a religion (Spain was infamous for this) or establishes religious communities abroad (as in Massachusetts Bay).
Imperialism has also existed for ages and ages. The Romans are one famous example, but virtually every country in Western Europe (France, Britain, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, etc) had an empire at one point. But so did the Japanese, the Russians, the Zulus, and the Comanches.
1. The name Joe stands for Joseph Stalin who ruled the Soviet Union with an iron fist after world war 2 ended. He also ruled various other Eastern European countries by proxy since he had them work as satellite states. He represents the Soviet Union and all other countries that he had cut off from the remainder of Europe
2. Churchill is looking under the curtain because he wants to get other countries away from the Soviets. He believed that other countries who weren't a part of the soviet union but still were communist countries should be freed from Soviet Union's grasp. It's called an iron curtain because it's a metaphor for strict separation of the two worlds.
3. The primary differences are in the economic model that the two sides employed. West of the curtain there was liberal capitalism while totalitarian communism existed on the other side. The capitalist side was also more liberal when it came to governing those countries as they were mostly democratic, while those east of the curtain had one party systems and were mostly totalitarian.
4. A symbol that can be seen is the background of the eastern part. Unlike in the western part, the eastern part shows heavy industrialization and the world looks dreary, almost like a camp. This is because during the cold war period following world war 2 the Soviets understood that they had to industrialize rapidly in order to catch up to the western world when it came to power and economic prosperity. They focused on heavy industry and in many places the country did look like it looks on the comic.
