The History of NATO
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was founded in 1949. It is a military and defensive alliance designed to combat the Soviet Union. NATO's core purpose is to deter aggression against its member states, and to respond collectively to any attacks. An attack on one member state will be considered an attack on all member states,. Each member state will take action to assist the attacked state, including the use of armed force if necessary.
