The main reason why OPEC imposed an oil embargo on the US is because the US <span>supported Israel in its “Yom Kippur War” with Egypt, and OPEC was made up of states that were against Israel, who was fighting the war against Egypt. </span>

Answer:

It had supported Israel in the Yum Kippur War.

Explanation:

During the Yum Kippur War of Israel against Jordan, Syria and Egypt, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, also known as OPEC stated that nations that supported Israel would face a monthly oil embargo of 5% until the support to Israel was retired, the main countries that faced this embargo were Canada, United States, Japan, Britain, Portugal, Netherlands, South Africa and Rhodesia; but later the OPEC declared a total embargo to the United States and Netherlands because they were the ones that supported Israel the most. This embargo generated an oil crisis and caused a rise on oil prices.

How was roosevelt was hypocritical in his actions?
Slav-nsk [51]
In the first place, I charge President Roosevelt with being a hypocrite, the most consummate that ever occupied the executive seat of the nation. His profession of pure politics is false, his boasted moral courage the bluff of a bully and his “square deal” a delusion and a sham.
