During the Cold War, several countries adopted a strategy of nonalignment, most notably members of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), which included nations such as India, Yugoslavia, Egypt, and Indonesia. These countries sought to avoid formal alliances with either the Western bloc led by the United States or the Eastern bloc led by the Soviet Union, aiming to maintain their independence and promote peace. Leaders like India's Jawaharlal Nehru, Yugoslavia's Josip Broz Tito, and Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser were prominent advocates of this approach. Nonalignment allowed these nations to pursue their interests without being drawn into the superpower rivalry.
