NATO and The Warsaw Pact

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was an alliance formed by America and several European countries in April 4, 1949. Communism was spreading like peanut butter on bread and NATO's goal was to stop it. If NATO was a virus to fight communism then the Warsaw Pact was the communist anti-virus. The Warsaw Pact formed in 1955 was formed to increase the spread of communism in Europe. As Communism declined both NATO and the Warsaw Pact dissipated.
