Japan was hard hit
Time: 1973
Place: Japan
Details: Japan was hard hit since it imported 90 percent of its oil from the Middle East. It had a stockpile good for 55 days, and another 20-day supply was en route. Facing its most serious crisis since 1945 the government ordered a 10% cut in the consumption of industrial oil and electricity. In December it ordered an immediate 20% cut in oil use and electric power to Japan's major industries and cutbacks in leisure automobile usage.

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.
