NATO and The Warsaw Pact

NATO and The Warsaw Pact were alliances that were created to defend the other countries in the alliances. NATO was made up of the US, Canada, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, and the United Kingdom. The Warsaw Pact consisted of Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the Soviet Union.

NATO was made as a mutual defence alliance so that if one of them was attacked the other countries in the alliance would come in to aide that country being attacked. The Warsaw Pact was made as a response to NATO and is supposed to be a mutual defence alliance like NATO. The Soviet Union dominated The Warsaw Pact.
