The 1955 Bandung Conference in Indonesia, was an historic meeting of 29 Asian and African nations - the largest gathering of non-European nations the world had seen. It marked the first major collective effort by newly independent countries to assert their voice in global affairs and begin their collective journey towards decolonisation. But the conference wasn’t just about throwing off the yoke of colonialism. The countries' leaders had one key objective: how to prevent a war between China and the United States.
