What would've happened if the NAM never emerged?
Say US and/ or Soviet actions (diplomatic or otherwise) strangle the efforts to form the NAM just before it was crystallizing into a real alternative bloc. Or for some reason it simply falls apart right after it begins. Whatever the case, what would've been the diplomatic/ geopolitical fate of the early 1960's NAM states? Which bloc would they gravitate towards or be pulled into? Granted, context obviously matters, but in general, which direction would they be most likely to head in, given the governments and domestic politics they possessed at the time?
A) the US bloc
B) the Soviet bloc
C) a nascent Chinese bloc
D) a new French bloc?
E) remained/ reverted to relative isolation
or F) attempted to form their own small regional bloc
These are the original NAM members:
Yugoslavia
Cuba
Syria
Iraq
Egypt
Algeria
Saudi Arabia
Tunisia
Morocco
Sudan
Yemen
Somalia
Ethiopia
Mali
Guinea
Ghana
Congo
Afghanistan
India
Nepal
Sri Lanka
Burma
Cambodia
Indonesia
