The Non-Aligned Movement was a movement founded in 120 countries that were not part of any power bloc. It was the largest grouping of states worldwide after the UN.

The Non-Aligned Movement aimed to not get those countries involved in any power struggle between Western and Communist Blocs.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Non-Aligned Movement faced struggles because the world became unipolar with the United States becoming the dominant global power. Because of that, the NAM was forced to redefine itself and reinvent its purpose.

The Non Aligned Movement struggled to find relevance after the fall of the Soviet Union because was largely based on opposition to the Cold War. The fall of the Soviet Union ended communism hence the movement lost its significance and influence
