NATO and The Warsaw Pact

NATO stands for the (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). The NATO was created by The United States and various European countries. If a country would attack a country that was with NATO, all of those other countries would defend the country.

In response to this, the Warsaw pact was created. In May 1955, the USSR (Old name for Russia) made the Warsaw Treaty to the scare of the Federal Republic of Germany into NATO in October 1954. This pact would not be powerful unless the Soviet Union was part of it. Back then, the only two superpowers in the world was the United States and the Soviet Union. Unlike NATO, the Warsaw Pact was getting weaker because of the political scene of Russia towards the 80s and it fully dissolved in the 90s.

The ones who created Warsaw pact were USSR and 8 other communist countries.

The countries in NATO were France, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland
