The NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was established April, 4, 1949. It was an agreement which involved 12 nations, that included the United States and the United Kingdom. The NATO was established with the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty. It was basically a defensive system of alliance for some European countries and North America.
The system was used as defense against the soviets and other countries, stating that if any country in the NATO, had to go to war, the other countries of the NATO would come to their aid. The NATO became very important to the U.S, the Soviets expanded in territory and spread communism. To counter the NATO alliance of its enemies, the Soviet Union created an alliance between itself and its satellite countries. Satellite Countries were bordering countries around Russia. They were a method of protection for the Soviets.
The Warsaw Pact was an organization of communist states in Central and Eastern Europe. The treaty was signed in Warsaw, Poland on May 14, 1955. The treaty was a direct response to West Germany joining the NATO in 1955. The Warsaw Pact was formed as communist military alliance to maintain power over Eastern Europe.
NATO said they would not support any country who signed the Warsaw Pact. With these two alliances, both sides where prepared for war, and tension between them continued to grow. The Soviets kept military in their other countries, this was the Soviets first attempt to strengthen themselves after the war.In 1956, the Soviet Union attacked Czechoslovakia and took military action against Hungary. Both of these countries were members of the Warsaw Pact.
