Answer 2

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) was established on April 4, 1949 as a result of the North Atlantic Treaty. It was intended to protect North American and European countries from attack, primarily by the USSR. The North Atlantic Treaty stated that any and all attacks made against any member of NATO would be considered an attack against them all. Should an attack occur, each of them would come to the aid of the country or countries being attacked by any means necessary, including the use of armed force to rescue the attacked party and maintain stability of the North Atlantic region.

Its basic goal was to increase the stability and defense of its member countries.

After September 11, 2001, NATO expanded its role to include the war on terrorism, which was considered an attack on the US.

NATO's highest priority is its mission in Afghanistan. At the 2009 NATO Summit meeting, NATO members promised 5,000 more troops to protect the country through its August election. However, this is far less than the 21,000 more troops the U.S. has committed.

It is also working on a strategic alliance with Russia despite the disagreements on missile base locations near Russia's borders.
