Answer:
The economy plummeted sharply in 1973
Explanation:
The economy actually grew in 1973 by 5.65%, but then it fell sharply, and fell byn -0.5 in 1974.
The reason for this drop was the 1973 oil crisis, after several Oil-exporting Arab Nations, launched an embargo against countries that had supported Israel in the Yom Kippur War, among these, the United States.
This embargo was very negative for the American economy, because the United States depended on these Arab Nations for its oil supply. Oil became scarce, which made energy, fuel, gasoline, and so on, more expensive. This naturally depressed economic activity because producing goods or services was now more expensive, or even impossible.

Japan emerged in 1853 from two and a half centuries of self-imposed peaceful isolation, but within a few decades the country’s leaders embarked on a policy of aggressive territorial expansion. During the last half of the nineteenth century, the Western imperialist powers of England, France, and Germany established the model for acquisition of colonies in Asia and for the partition of China into spheres of influence. Near the end of the century, about the same time Japan began to capture colonial territory, the United States and Russia also initiated their imperialistic expansion in Asia.This paper will examine four of the most influential theories of imperialism to determine whether they can provide explanations for Japan’s imperialism from 1894 to 1910, when Japan formally annexed Korea. The four theories to be reviewed will be Hobson's theory of domestic market underconsumption that leads to capitalists seeking profits overseas, Lenin's theory of the monopoly stage of capitalism, Schumpeter's theory of inherited warlike tendencies from prior generations, and nationalism's focus on politics as the critical factor. Although other theories of imperialism exist, these four theories cover a broad range of economic, political, and sociological factors that could explain Japan’s imperialistic expansion. This essay's review of Japan's history of imperialism from 1894 to 1910 will show that the theory of nationalism provides the best explanations of the causes of Japan's militaristic actions and colonial acquisitions, although Schumpeter's sociological-based theory seems to provide some explanation for the actions of the Meiji Period (1868-1912) leaders.</span>
