NATO, established in 1949, was created as a collective defense alliance to counter the threat posed by the Soviet Union and its expansionist policies during the Cold War. By uniting Western nations under a mutual defense agreement, NATO effectively deterred Soviet aggression and provided security to member states. The alliance also engaged in military exercises, intelligence sharing, and strategic planning to bolster its readiness against potential Soviet invasions. Additionally, NATO's support for anti-communist movements and its involvement in conflicts, such as in Afghanistan, further highlighted its stance against Soviet influence.
