NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was established on April 4, 1949, by twelve founding member countries, primarily in response to the perceived threat from the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The concept was driven by key figures such as U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall and British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, who advocated for collective security in Europe. The alliance aimed to promote mutual defense and political integration among its members.
NATO was not created until after the second world war
NATO as it exists today has over ever been called NATO. However, a precursor to NATO, which did not include the USA, was the Western Union Defence Organisation, a defence council set up by the UK, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
NATO standard refers to the standard round used by all NATO countries troops so if a country is operating with another country and the guy from the other country runs out of ammo he can pick up the other mans ammo. The NATO standard for Assault Rifles is 5.56X45mm NATO and for pistols 9X19mm NATO.
Since the USA is a member of NATO, NATO is far superior. NATO _without_ American support would be a pushover to the Russians. A big part of that is that NATO is overreliant on American power. If they had to defend themselves with only their own resources, then most of the NATO nations would be forced to severely curtail their social welfare state and invest more heavily in defense.
No. Not a part of NATO. NATO-friendly, but not a member.
Well, honey, NATO has two official languages: English and French. So, if you wanna chat it up with those fancy diplomats, you better brush up on your English and French skills. Time to start practicing those "bonjours" and "hellos"!

Nato did not exist during the Korean conflict. Actually, NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization) came into being on April 4, 1949, so it did exist during the Korean War. NATO was an organization designed to provide mutual assistance in case of war in the areas around the North Atlantic (North America and Europe), so it didn't play any part in the Korean War. Some of the NATO members did participate in the Korean War, just not under the auspices of NATO.
No, Kyrgyzstan is not a member of NATO.
The membership of NATO was expanded as new NATO to include new members.
