NATO and The Warsaw Pact

North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO was a organization that was made up of countries in North America and Europe. NATO was established on April 4, 1949. This is a mutual defense between the nations so if an outside party were to attack then other countries will come to their aid. This organization was made because the communist party especially the USSR were growing in power. The European countries saw this as a treat so they established NATO. The USSR counter to the organization was making the Warsaw pact. The Treaty was signed in Warsaw, Poland on May 14, 1955. It was the same as NATO mutual defense between the allied nations.
