11  The 1973 oil crisis began in October 1973 when the members of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC, consisting of the Arab members of the OPEC plus Egypt, Syria and Tunisia) proclaimed an oil embargo. An embargo is a ban on trade with certain countries. By the end of the embargo in March 1974, the price of oil had risen from $3 per barrel to nearly $12. The oil crisis, or "shock", had many short-term and long-term effects on global politics and the global economy.  OPEC started the embargo in response to American support for the Jewish state of Israel. Six days after Egypt and Syria launched a surprise military campaign against Israel to regain territories lost in the June 1967 Six-Day War, the US supplied Israel with arms. In response to this, OPEC announced an oil embargo against Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the US.  After Israel agreed to remove its troops from the Egyptian territory of the Suez Canal, OPEC lifted the embargo, but the effects of the oil crisis were felt for many years. Because of the power OPEC showed, the United States began to seek energy independence, an issue that is still a major policy goal for the United States today.

12  An agreement entered into by Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. in 1992 to eliminate barriers to trade between the countries.  Boosted Mexican GDP, but has hurt small farmers in Mexico (can’t compete with huge American agricultural companies)  http://useconomy.about.co m/b/2008/04/24/nafta-pros- and-cons.htm http://useconomy.about.co m/b/2008/04/24/nafta-pros- and-cons.htm
