foreign interventions
Outside powers acting
Foreign interventions are actions by one nation to influence or interfere in another's affairs—typically military operations, economic sanctions, or covert activities.
The term often carries critical connotations, implying overreach or violation of sovereignty: The country has a long history of foreign interventions in Latin America.
Interventions may be justified as humanitarian, defensive, or stabilizing, though critics question such rationales.
