The Western Intervention

Western intervention refers to actions by Western countries—such as military involvement, diplomatic efforts, or economic aid—taken to influence or stabilize other nations' political situations. These interventions often aim to address issues like conflict, human rights violations, or instability but can also be controversial due to concerns about sovereignty and long-term impacts. They are typically justified by the goal of maintaining regional or global security, promoting democracy, or preventing humanitarian crises. However, critics argue that such actions may lead to unintended consequences, including violence escalation or undermining local governance.
