Please Mark Me Brainliest

Explanation:

In October 1973, it broke out the Fourth Arab-Israeli War, best known as the "Yom Kippur War" because the Arab countries enemy of Israel took advantage of the Yom Kippur ("Day of Expiation") holiday to launch a triple offensive against Israel. When the war seemed to go well for the Arabs because of the destruction of large numbers or Israeli warplanes, the U.S. resupplied the Israelis and made their losses good turning the outcome of the war to their favor.

The U.S. support of the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War infuriated the Arab oil producing countries who announced an oil embargo against the U.S. The price of crude oil went from 3 dollars per barrel to 12 dollars by the beginning of 1974. Since U.S. people were traditionally used to large cars consuming a lot of gas, since gas had always been cheap, a shortage of gas across the country quickly set in, An unexpected consequence of this gas shortage in the U.S., fuel-efficient cars of Japanese make began to become popular in the U.S., and it also forced the U.S. car industry to design smaller cars and fuel-efficient engines to compete with the Japanese car industry.

'Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent Alliances, with any portion of the foreign world. George Washington, Farewell A
butalik [34]

The correct answer is: "Non-intervention policy"

George Washington was adressing the issue on whether it was benefitial or not to establish alliances with foreign countries. Thomas Jefferson did it later as well, exactly in the same line as Washington, as it can be seen in this quotation: <em>"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations-entangling alliances with none."</em>

They exemplified like this the national point of view which had set the way of proceeding at the time. It was maintained from 1789 until the end of WWII. The only exception was the relationship of the US with Panama.

But after WWII the situation became the opposite, the US allied with half of the world and included them as part of the capitalist block, to confront the URSS and the communist system.
