NATO and the Warsaw pact

The NATO is a treaty that was created and signed a long time ago back to when North America & Russia(Soviet Union) were in serious dispute. A dispute so serious that it seemed like a war was inevitable. NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The countries that agreed to and signed the NATO consist mostly of all the atlantic bordering countries.

 

The Warsaw Pact was a treaty between all of the countries that bordered the Soviet Union. The Warsaw pact was similar to the NATO but just for the Soviet Union. When North America and its allies found out about the WarSaw pact they knew that action would have to be take to avoid another World War.
