During World War II, countries that later became NATO members aimed to preserve their sovereignty, territorial integrity, and democratic governance in the face of Axis aggression. They sought to maintain stability and security in Europe, prevent the spread of fascism, and protect their populations from the devastation of war. Additionally, these nations aimed to foster cooperation among allies to ensure a collective defense against common threats.

Why NATO does not bordering the Soviet Union?

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.
