                                                What were the developments that led to the formation of Non-Alignment Movement?         

Answer:

(i) The Second World War ended in the year 1945. After the end of war, ideological differences emerged between the US and the USSR.

(ii) Both of them embarked upon increasing their influence on the newly independent countries. The entire world was divided into two armed camps.

(iii) It was the beginning of a cold war. Therefore, in the Bandung summit of the Afro-Asian countries, it was decided that they would not join any of the groups and would remain neutral and not align with any of the two powers.

Thus, non-alignment movement, as named by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, came into being. The main contributors to the non-alignment movement were the representatives of India, Yugoslavia, Egypt, Ghana and Indonesia.
