The UN (United Nations) is a international organization of every recognized state, created to keep the peace between nations and help create international law and cooperation. NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is a military and political alliance of the United States, Canada and most of Europe, created back in the Cold War to counter Soviet and Communist power. It now consists of 28 nations. The countries in the NATO are in a political and military alliance towards self defense and maintaining peace so to build trust and prevent conflict, and keep the safety of the countries. NATO is also committed to the principle of collective defense, which is that an attack against one or several members is an attack against all.

What states have most recently joined NATO and why?

The NATO most recently joined members (2004) are Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. As the others just before (Hungary, Poland and Czech Republic in 1999, East-Germany in 1990) these countries first of all seek the integration in "western" structures as a part of their way into the integration in the "west" such as the European Union. Another, discussable reason is to make clear steps away from their history as part of the eastern block controlled by the Sovietunion. All of the countries mentioned above were either part of the Sovietunion or member of the Warsaw pact, the "arch enemy" of the NATO. Being members of the NATO therefore means to be protected falling back into this history of being controlled in all their countries matters by the strongest European military force, for the countries of the Baltics (Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia) and even more means to be protected becoming part of any Russian controlled sphere again as they were States of the Sovietunion from 1940 to 1991. Other countries of the East of Europe are seeking membership and are mostly members of the NATO partnership for peace, so even the only country ever attacked by the NATO: Serbia. In that case membership in the NATO shall additionally bring stability and the integration into the military structure making diplomatic solutions of possible conflicts easier in the future (plus the diplomatic support gained by the main members of the NATO, mostly the USA). So all together it can be noted that all new members of the NATO were until recently, 17 years ago, communistic states and member of the Warsaw pact now seeking integration in the west.
