NATO and The Warsaw Pact

NATO is a an agreement involving 12 nations. These twelve nations included United States and United Kingdom. It was established to stop the threat of the communist party. It was established on April 4, 1949 with the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty. After the fall of the communist party, the NATO was changed from a military force to being a political force. The NATO was established for security, if an external party was to attack any of the countries of the NATO then those countries would help defend it. It started during the Cold War, and still lasts today.

The Warsaw pact was established six years after the NATO pact. It was formed to keep power at Eastern Europe. The Warsaw pact was signed by almost all communist parties in Central and Eastern Europe. This pact was established to counter the NATO alliance. The treaty was made on May 9, 1955. It eventually broke apart after the collapse of the Eastern bloc and nations began to withdraw themselves from the pact.
