NATO has never fought an actual war. NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and it was originally formed in 1949 by a dozen countries, including the U.S., as a "Cold War" deterrent to the Soviet Union (USSR) and the countries behind what was then called the Iron Curtain in the post World War 2 world.
In 1955, the USSR formed the Warsaw Pact, a kind of Soviet NATO, as a response, they said, to NATO's admission into NATO of West Germany. It must be admitted that the Russians had ample reason to fear a resurgent Germany after what happened to the Soviet Union when Nazi Germany attacked it in 1941. By 1991, however, after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the reunification of Germany, the Warsaw Pact effectively ceased to exist. Since then many former Warsaw Pact member countries have joined NATO, not to mention the new European Union. There is great hope for a bright future for Europe, and no more World Wars emanating from there. And yes, I bite my tongue even as I write this.
But the threat of war, and even another World War, maybe even with nuclear weapons still exists. A famous passage from the Bible, Matthew 24, verses 6 and 7, says: "And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars ... For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom....
Europe and the rest of the world suffered through the two most destructive wars of all time in just the first half of the 20th Century, but it ain't over yet. Humans have this thing about killing one another for the damnedest stupidest reasons.
