Japanese automakers also benefited from the crisis
Time: 1970s
Place: Japan
Details: Japanese automakers also benefited from the crisis. The jump in gasoline prices helped their small, fuel-efficient models to gain market share from the "gas-guzzling" Detroit competition. This triggered a drop in American sales of American brands that lasted into the 1980s.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
