NATO and The Warshaw Pact


the nato is an organization with countries from europe and north america. the nato was more like an alliance between the countries. like any other alliance, if one country gets attacked the countries allies would help out by defending the country who got attacked. nato stands for national atlantic treaty organization.

the warshaw pact was another alliance but mostly of the soviet union's satelite countries. this pact was made six years right after the nato was made. this pact eventually took over the soviet unions neighbors and made them join the warshaw pact.
