Foreign interventions refer to actions taken by one country in the affairs of another, often to influence political, economic, or social outcomes. These interventions can occur through military force, economic aid, or diplomatic pressure. Countries may intervene for various reasons, including humanitarian concerns, national security interests, or to support allies. Such interventions can have significant consequences, both positive and negative. While they may help stabilize a region or support democracy, they can also lead to conflict, resentment, and long-term instability. Examples of foreign interventions include the United States involvement in Iraq and NATO operations in Libya.
