NATO and The Warsaw Pact

NATO is an organization that includes countries in Europe and North America. The purpose for NATO was if one of the countries that they were up against would attack the other countries in this alliance would come to there aid. The USSR heard about this alliance and made there organization of there own called the Warsaw Pact. This alliance basically formed because the NATO was seen as a treat to Russia. The way that the Warsaw Pact worked was similar to the way NATO did. It was an alliance made between countries just in case of an attack so that the countries of this alliance could come to aid.
