LET THEM DRINK THEIR OIL - When Petroleum Became a Political Weapon
Channel: The Kandari Chronicles
Date: 2023-05-21

In this video, we explore the impact of the 1973 Arab oil embargo on the global economy and international relations. We examine how the embargo affected oil prices, energy policies, and international diplomacy. We explore how the Arab states used oil to assert their power and influence in the world.

Our goal is to provide an understanding of the Arab oil embargo from an Arab point of view and how Arabs perceive its impact on the world. We break down the events of the embargo and provide a thorough explanation of the reasons behind the Arab world's decision to reinvent oil as a political ace up their sleeves.
