NATO comes to us as "the North Atlantic Treaty Organization" in 1945 after the war in Europe, communist Russia kept most of its communist territories as part of the greater USSR

Under the USSR they formed the Warsaw Compact which said that all members (communist countries) would join efforts in case of a war brought on by the capitalists in Europe and North America.

NATO was the Capitalist group made up of non communist europe, North America, and their colonies. Soon after Japan also joined. Even though it says North Atlantic, it eventually encompassed most capitalist nations. But in the 40s' and 50's many areas were too unstable to include in the pact such as Africa, the Middle East, or SOuth America. So NATO was formed to litlerally combat communism if any of their members were infsltrated or attacked by a communist nation (or the Warsaw pact)

Why did the US canada and most western european countries form?

Canada, the United States, and many European countries (western ones especially) are strong allies. They are part of many organizations. For example, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). Canada and the US are also participants in the Council of Europe (as are every country in Europe). The US and Canada are somewhat like offspring of Western Europe; they gained independence from this area (both the UK and France specifically) and based on their formation on this area (both the UK and France especially). As a result, they just stuck together.
