When NATO was formed, it was the product of the so-called Cold War. Western European nations that were nations after WW 2 faced Eastern European nations that were under communist control and loyal to the Soviet Union. The US, Canada and Western European nations formed this alliance to guard against a possible invasion from Soviet controlled Eastern Europe.
