3 0
The Arab nations of OPEC placed the embargo on the United States as a response to US support of Israel in its 1973 war against a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria.

OPEC stands for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.  Within that, there was also the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC), formed in 1968.  In 1973, OAPEC said they would cut oil production <span>"until the Israeli forces are completely evacuated from all the Arab territories occupied in the June 1967 war."  (The 1973 war was being fought to regain control of territories lost to Israel in 1967.)  Egypt and Syria were both members of OAPEC, and they and other Arab nations were seeking leverage in the struggle with Israel and positioning for post-war settlements.</span>

Masja [62]
John Winthrop was an extremely influential Puritan who wrote the speech about the "City upon a hill."

In this speech, he talks about how when the Puritans establish a new society in the New England colonies, they must be ideal citizens. Winthrop discusses several themes including working together as one and using their religious values in order to shape their decision making. He says that if this group fails to live a religious life and work together, God's blessing may be taken away and will result in several other negative consequences.

This greatly affected these new citizens. They realized that establishment and survival of their new town is about much more than just organizing food and shelter. Rather, their actions will determine how individuals throughout the world view Puritans.
