The year 2025 ended without bringing the relief that many hoped for after a tiring 2024 on the international stage.

On the contrary, these twelve months marked a deterioration in global cooperation, an increase in conflicts, and a more visible weakening of the world order led by the United States.

Unlike last year, when the Paris Olympics served as a symbol of international cooperation, 2025 offered little reason for optimism.

Many of these developments are expected to continue to influence global politics well into 2026.

The clash between Cambodia and Thailand

In July, the most serious conflict between Cambodia and Thailand in decades erupted, linked to a centuries-old border dispute over the Prasat Ta Muen Thom temple.

Dozens of people were killed and thousands displaced. US President Donald Trump's intervention led to a ceasefire, but the agreement was violated several times, raising the risk of a protracted conflict.

Cardinal Robert Prevost elected Pope Leo XIV

In May, for the first time in history, the Catholic Church elected a pope from the United States.

Cardinal Robert Prevost, originally from Chicago and with long missionary experience in Peru, took the name Leo XIV, signaling attention to social issues and economic justice.

The clash between India and Pakistan

Tensions in Kashmir erupted in May after a deadly terrorist attack.

India and Pakistan exchanged air and missile strikes for several days, bringing about the fiercest clash in half a century.

Although a ceasefire was reached, core disagreements remain unresolved.

Intensifying the race for Artificial Intelligence

The US and China intensified their rivalry for dominance in artificial intelligence.

China demonstrated advanced capabilities without relying on American chips, while Washington vacillated between restrictions and relaxations on technology exports, raising concerns about national security and the global economy.

The devastating civil war in Sudan

The conflict between the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces continued with catastrophic consequences: hundreds of thousands of casualties, over 12 million displaced people, and the risk of nationwide famine.

Prospects for peace remain bleak.

US brokers peace plan for Gaza

After two years of fighting, Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and a three-phase peace plan.

However, the disarmament of Hamas and the reconstruction of Gaza remain flashpoints, while long-term peace still seems distant.

The war in Ukraine continues

In the fourth year of the war, Russia intensified air strikes, while territorial gains remained minimal and at high human cost.

Ukraine received significant support from Europe, but pressure for a ceasefire favorable to Moscow grew.

Israel and the US attack Iran's nuclear facilities

In June, a 12-day conflict erupted between Israel and Iran, culminating in US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Although a ceasefire was reached, strategic tensions remained unresolved.

China uses rare earths as a geopolitical weapon

Beijing leveraged its dominance in rare earths to exert economic pressure on the US, signaling a significant shift in the global balance of power.

Donald Trump shakes up American foreign policy

President Trump radically changed the course of US foreign policy: withdrawal from international agreements, sweeping trade tariffs, and strategic reorientation.

Critics say these actions marked the end of the era of "Pax Americana."
