NATO and The Warsaw Pact

This picture is an anti-Nato ad. Which reads "Hello, NATO!"

NATO was an alliance of different militaries against communism. It stood for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. During the Cold War era there were only twelve different countries and or nations. The U.S, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Denmark, Iceland, Italy Norway Portugal, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The only real reason for the formation of NATO was DEFENSE. So that if one of them were attacked all of the other countries in NATO would come to their aide as one. Around this time we were having problems with Russia. So as a answer or threat to NATO they created their own "NATO" called the Warsaw Pact. But, they were still out number with just 8 nations. The Soviet Union, Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania.
