At the beginning (1949), it was meant to stop communism from spreading into war-torn Western Europe. It was an anti-soviet/communism organization. Today, it's so the nations can protect each other. Ex) After 9/11, all the NATO members invaded Afghanistan because the US (a NATO member), was attacked. If any one NATO member was attacked, all would declair war/attack on the national that attacked the one NATO member. Like I said, a perfect example is 9/11. (North Atlantic Treaty Organization)
