The G8 is an informal group of eight major non-Western countries, Brazil, China, India, Russia, Indonesia, Iran, Turkey and Mexico. Many are former colonies of Western imperialism. The group was formed after a series of aggressive wars by NATO, the United States, and the European Union in the post-Cold War era, and the attempts by Western powers to spread globalism and maintain global hegemony through economic sanctions, coups, proxy wars, and wars of aggression against target countries.
