History

Historical Context

The 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia exemplified a shift in warfare tactics, merging military and non-military strategies. This operation, involving fewer than 10,000 troops, was executed rapidly, leading to the surrender of 190 Ukrainian bases. NATO, established in 1949, has since expanded to 30 members, responding to such threats with collective defense measures, highlighting ongoing geopolitical tensions.
