[Comprehensive report of Global Times] Recently, the demand of the global energy market and the continuous shortage of supply, which makes the oil and natural gas markets into turmoil.
People can’t help but think of 3 global oil crises in the 1970s.
They have brought serious impact on the world economy and to a certain extent, and the direction of the international political landscape.
In 17, the 3 Petroleum Crisis 1973-1990, a three oil crisis occurred in the Middle East.
The first oil crisis broke out in 1973, but its roots have been buried more than 20 years ago.
After World War II, Israel’s support of the United Nations has been surrounded by the Middle East surrounded by the Arab States, and began a constant territorial dispute with the surrounding Arab countries.
October 6, 1973 is an important religious festival in Israel – Atonement Day, Egypt and Syria have to take the territory of Israel’s eating, choose to launch an attack on this day, and call the Sinan War.
Although in the support of the United States, Israel has obtained the victory of this war with a young enemy, but the Arab of the battlefield will continue to use the oil as a weapon and combat it behind the United States, Japan, and some European countries.
The Decision of the International Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) mainly made the country’s national oil output country (OPEC), and enjoying the Western countries of many years, the Western countries that have been low-oil prices have been eloquent. On October 16, OPEC announced that oil prices rose by 70%, reaching the dollar per barrel, and adopted embargo on the United States, Japan and some European countries.
At that time, oil imported from the Arab countries accounted for nearly half of these countries, and many national oil stocks were seriously insufficient, and they can only support one and a half months.
The shortage of oil has caused high price to rise, and then the price of department store has flooted.
In less than a month, Europe and Japan have to turn to support the Arab countries’ demands. Because of its own oil, the United States is longer, but in the face of the domestic rising prices have to retreat, urge Israel to return to the relevant territories of Egypt, Syria. But by the end of 1973, oil prices have soared to 11 US dollars per barrel, and the price has doubled and eventually triggered a global economic crisis that lasts several years. The second oil crisis is in 1979-1980, the guided fire of this crisis is the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979.
In the beginning of this year, I have been a beautiful Iranian King Ballitzer regime by religious leader Holmene, and Iran has built the Islamic Republic, and there has also happened the Iranian hostage of the world.
In this influence, the price of crude oil rose sharply, soared from 12 US dollars per barrel to 40 US dollars per barrel. I have experienced the consumer of the first oil crisis, and I started panic purchase, and the gas station rose again. Subsequently, in 1980, the war has caused sharp decline in oil production, which has triggered the global economic recession.
At the end of 1990, the Gulf War caused the third oil crisis. After the war, the United Nations resolution implemented an embarrassing sanctions against Iraq, causing the total amount of the world’s oil supply to approximately 20%, and the international oil prices rose to $ 42 per barrel. This crisis has a short period of time, and the impact on the economy is less than the first two crises.
But there is also a saying that the third oil crisis has built early in 1986. After the 1980s, as the OPC organizes unconfigured, as well as some emerging oil-producing countries, oil prices continued to decline, and oil power returned to the United States, Japan and Europe’s main consumer countries.
In 1986, oil prices were pressed to 10 US dollars per barrel, so that the international oil market has seriously chaos, which violently impacted the world economy and financial system.
This crisis has led to the later Iraqi invading Kuwait and the bay war.
The plummete of oil prices also triggered the fiscal financial situation and indirectly leading to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Oversion of the struggle against petroleum control, the three petroleum crises, and its impact on the world economy is far less influential to the international pattern. The crisis is more infiltrated by countries to compete for development space and petroleum control.
The first is the rise and fall of OPEC and determines the international status of the Arab countries. After the end of the World War, the Middle Eastern oil mining rights and pricing rights have long been monopolized by Western oil companies, and the oil prices have even maintained at $ 1 per barrel.
Western countries sit with low oil prices. In the 1960s, the establishment of OPEC was not united because of the dispute between oil export interests. However, with a few Middle East wars arising from the conflict, the Middle East countries have prompted the Middle East countries to unite, and OPEC has increased in the international oil market, and OPEC has risen to a political force that cannot be ignored in the world. The game between oil exporters and major consumer countries has become an important factor in the first oil crisis.
With other factors such as the outbreak of the second oil crisis and the war, OPEC has more intensified. This depressed oil control is returned to the United States. The subsequent oil prices have brought the third oil crisis. .
In order to counter Opak, all petroleum consumption powers in Western Europe have set up international energy organizations, and hug the group to curb OPEC’s international voice, and it is also easy to communicate with OPEC with OPEC. Second, the oil crisis has prompted countries to pay more attention to the national strategic status of oil. The three petroleum crisis has prompted the United States to identify the core interests of the United States in the United States. The US international layout is in order to strengthen the control of the Middle East.
Other countries also regard oil as strategic materials, have established state-owned oil companies to strive to grasp the life of the oil in their hands as much as possible. At the same time, countries have also focused on vigorously developing new energy industries.
More importantly, the three petroleum crises deeply affected the trend of the world, the division of the Arab world, the Soviet Union, etc., it is not difficult to see the traces of the oil crisis.
The Japanese car takes the opportunity to counterattack the oil crisis to people’s daily lives. The energy crisis and the economic crisis that are accompanied by the Japanese car have brought opportunities. During the oil crisis, in order to reduce oil consumption, the US gas station takes a limited time oil supply policy, and speed limit measures are also taken in highway traffic. US cars with large fuel consumption become more uneconomical. Lightweight, the Japanese car fuel consumption is counter-attack. It is using the oil crisis, Japan Toyota Motor Company mainly pushes small provincial oil sedans, and the price of open-covered advertising offensions and preferential prices have won the US market. Other Japanese brands such as Nissan, Honda followed.
According to statistics, in 1970, the sales volume of this Open in the United States in 1970 has only 1300, and its sales have jumped to 100,000 in the first oil crisis.
After the oil crisis, the country’s pursuit of the diversification of oil-source, on the one hand, develop alternative energy, improve energy structures to reduce oil consumption. In order to reduce excessive dependence on single energy varieties, the world’s major oil consumption is striving to develop different energy varieties, and the R & D investment in nuclear energy, wind energy, solar energy is increasing. Energy-saving technology for vehicles such as vehicles is also an important design indicator due to unprecedented attention due to an unprecedented attention due to the reasons of the oil crisis.
