NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is a military alliance that includes Greece as one of its member countries. Greece joined NATO in 1952, contributing to collective defense and security in the region. The country actively participates in various NATO missions and operations, enhancing its military capabilities and fostering cooperation with other member states. NATO's presence in Greece also plays a strategic role in addressing regional security challenges, particularly in the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean.

Greece's accession to NATO marked a significant milestone in its post-war integration into Western political and military structures.
Greece and Turkey were the two NATO members that joined the alliance after its founding in 1949. Both countries became members on February 18, 1952, expanding NATO's reach during the early Cold War period. The original founding members included 12 countries, and Greece and Turkey's accession marked a significant strategic addition to the alliance.
There were 12 "founding members". Greece and Turkey were added in 1952 and Germany in 1955. So after 1955 and until 1999 there were 15 NATO members.
No country joined in 1954. Greece and Turkey joined in 1952 and West Germany joined in 1955.
Greece and Turkey joined NATO in 1952, three years after the alliance was founded in 1949. Their accession was part of NATO's strategy to counter Soviet influence in southeastern Europe during the Cold War. Other nations, such as Spain, joined later, with Spain becoming a member in 1982.
