NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was formed in 1949 as a collective defense alliance among Western countries in response to the threat posed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. However, the Soviet Union itself was not a member of NATO, and its borders were largely defined by its own sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, several former Soviet states and Warsaw Pact countries sought NATO membership for security against potential aggression, leading to NATO's eastward expansion. Thus, NATO's relationship with the Soviet Union was one of opposition, rather than direct bordering or membership.
The primary goal of NATO, established in 1949, was to provide collective defense against the threat of Soviet expansion in Europe, ensuring mutual security among its member states. In response, the Soviet Union created the Warsaw Pact in 1955, a military alliance that included Eastern Bloc countries, aimed at countering NATO's influence and consolidating its control over Eastern Europe. This rivalry intensified the Cold War, leading to an arms race and heightened tensions between the two blocs.
