Western intervention
Western intervention refers to the involvement of Western countries, often through military, political, or economic means, in the affairs of other nations, particularly in conflicts or crises. This can include actions like military interventions to protect human rights, impose sanctions to influence governments, or provide humanitarian aid. Such interventions aim to promote stability, democracy, or security, but they can also lead to controversies regarding sovereignty, effectiveness, or unintended consequences. Key examples include interventions in Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan, where the motivations and outcomes have been widely debated.
