1. Analyze the question The question asks which organisation was formed mainly because the world was divided into two power blocs. "Bipolar world" refers to the Cold War era (after World War II until about 1991), when the USA (the capitalist/Western bloc) and the USSR (the communist/Eastern bloc) dominated global politics.

Some newly independent countries, especially in Africa and Asia, did not want to be tied to either side. They wanted to protect their sovereignty and focus on development. This led to the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), founded in 1961 by leaders such as Nehru (India), Nasser (Egypt), Tito (Yugoslavia), Nkrumah (Ghana) and Sukarno (Indonesia). It grew out of the 1955 Bandung Conference.
