term "intervention" habitually perceived negatively, as the definition of the interference of foreign countries into internal affairs of any country.However, between this notion and the usual aggression, there is some difference, or what is variously called the same thing?So, what is the intervention and how it differs from the occupation?
In 1918, the country's military and political association "Allies" - UK, USA and France - sent troops to some regions of the former Russian Empire for the provision of military assistance to the participants of the Civil War, who opposed the Bolsheviks.This was done at the request of the government, which at that time the former allies in World War I was considered legitimate.Of course, the Allied countries, explaining the need for military intervention means of legitimate authority, do not forget about their own regional interests, seeking to expand their geopolitical influence.The reasons for the intervention of 1918-1920 consisted in an effort not only to suppress the revolutionary movement, but also to get some dividends, mainly economic.
Soviet Union has also repeatedly pursued a policy of military intervention in the internal affairs of neighboring and sometimes distant countries.This was done almost always the same scenario: pre-created communist government, which shall carry out their duties to a paste after the overthrow legitimate authority by coup or direct military aggression.
What is Soviet-style intervention?This defeat of the anti-communist uprising in Hungary in 1956, the suppression of the "Prague Spring" in 1968.Not quite successfully ended "liberation campaign" to Finland in the winter 1939-40, and pre-cooked Otto Kuusinen government was left without work.
Sturm Amin's palace in 1979, gives a fairly complete picture of what is intervention in the period of late socialism.Impeccably Precision conducted a military operation in the course of which was to complete the task, that is, the physical elimination of unwanted head of state and replacing it with a loyal Kremlin Babrak Karmal.
Although the UN Charter condemns all forms of intervention, this reception is used in almost all the states seeking to strengthen its international position.In order to keep the regime in power, creating economic preferences interested countries to apply military and military assistance.In 1989, part of the US Army invaded Panama, where there is a real threat to US interests.Government Noriega was deposed, he was arrested, in a word, democracy is restored.
That is the American intervention, is well remembered in Vietnam.The purpose of the military conflict that lasted 11 years, was not the colonization of this country, and to establish in it a loyal US control mode.
In the twentieth century there were many examples of how in some countries, which have become an arena for battles geopolitical interests, counter military intervention occurred.The warring parties received assistance in the form of arms supplies, advisers, often taking (unofficial) part in the hostilities, and sometimes direct intervention of the armed forces.
In general, intervention can be called any involvement of foreign forces in the internal affairs of a sovereign state to ensure that the foreign policy benefits.Unfortunately, it is clear that such actions are widely distributed in the XXI century.
