Answer:
The correct answer is A. A major characteristic shared by countries in the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War was an unwillingness to involve themselves in any U.S.-Soviet conflicts.
Explanation:
The Non-Aligned Movement was a group of countries created in 1961, in the framework of the Cold War, by countries that did not identify themselves even with the Western Bloc and its democratic and capitalist values; nor with the Eastern Bloc and its communist and autocratic values. Thus, it was a group of neutral countries in the conflict of the Cold War, which tried not to get directly involved in said international conflict, but to attend in a particular way to their own interests.
Generally, these were countries of a socialist nature, but not aligned with the policies of the Soviet Union, such as Yugoslavia; or from countries with social democratic tendencies such as India.
The military plans laid before World War I presupposed a major war between the countries which were tied together with alliances. Because the Triple Entente had Britain, France and Russia as allies, Germany thought if a war began it would need to fight on two fronts -- west and east. So German Field Marshall Alfred von Schlieffen drew up war plans that said attack France first, quickly, and then hold that territory while deploying forces to contend with Russia in the east. So when Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, the first thing it did was to go and attack France. Thus the war spread and became instantly a more global conflict.
National leaders in politics and the military need to learn caution when dealing with alliances and when committing themselves to military action. Restrained, limited military actions are preferable to the all-out plunging into war that was seen in the outbreak of World War I. Diplomacy should be given its best chance to work before resorting to military options -- even if military options have been pre-planned.
