NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was founded in 1949, not 1948. The founding member countries included the United States, Canada, and ten European nations: Belgium, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. These countries came together to provide collective defense against potential threats, particularly from the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Which country was not a founding member of NATO?

You may want to narrow down your criteria a good bit. The question is much too broad, as several countries were not members of NATO in the 1950s - some of those countries later became members of NATO, some were in the Warsaw Pact in the 1950s (some of those, too, would eventually become members of NATO), some countries were unaligned.
