During the Cold War, many Asian and African nations adopted a policy of nonalignment to avoid becoming pawns in the power struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. This stance allowed them to maintain sovereignty, pursue independent foreign policies, and foster economic development without being tied to either bloc. Nonaligned countries sought to prioritize their national interests and promote peace, cooperation, and solidarity among developing nations. By aligning with neither superpower, they aimed to gain benefits from both sides while advocating for global disarmament and decolonization.

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.
