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>
In the 1850s abolition was not a widely embraced movement in the United States. It was considered radical, extreme, and dangerous. In “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” Frederick Douglass sought not only to convince people of the wrongfulness of slavery but also to make abolition more acceptable to Northern whites.
Answer:
The Declaration of Independence of the United States was signed by representatives of thirteen British colonies in North America, by which they declared themselves an independent state, the United States. The Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, declared the colonies independent on July 2, 1776, and adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4.
The Declaration of Independence is considered the highlight of the American Revolution, and in the United States as an almost mythical nation-building event. The list of human rights at the beginning of the Declaration later inspired many other liberal revolutions and human rights declarations. Particularly famous is the second sentence of the Declaration, according to which all men are created equal and have the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
