NATO and The Warsaw Pact

NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. This was formed by the United States to try to help weaker countries resist the Soviet Union. They would form a deffensive military alliance and any attack on any of the NATO members would result in an armed force by all members of NATO. But in 1955, the Soviet Union saw NATO as threat and they formed their own alliance that was later known as The Warsaw Pact. The Warsaw Pact included The Soviet Union, East Germany, Czeclovakia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania. Both of these rival alliances continued to fight indirectly.
