What was the non aligned community?

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) emerged during the Cold War as a group of countries that sought to remain independent from the influence of the two major superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union. Founded in 1961, the movement aimed to promote peace, security, and cooperation among its member states while advocating for self-determination and economic development. Key figures included leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru, Gamal Abdel Nasser, and Josip Broz Tito. Today, NAM continues to focus on issues like global governance, development, and the promotion of multilateralism.
