(a) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was an essential defensive organization against Communist aggression and a successful step towards European and trans-Atlantic co-operation. Shortly after the Berlin Blockade was lifted, NATO was formed. (A People and a Nation). (b) The United States had committed herself to a military alliance in peace time for the first time in her history ' From 1949 onwards, a large number of American troops was stationed in western Europe. For the next 20 years, her allies could call for American military assistance. This marked an end of the isolationist policy which had always been upheld by the United States. (c) In response to the formation of the NATO, Russia formed the Warsaw Pact. Citation of (a)-(c): "http:/www.thecorner.org/hist/europe/coldwar.htm" They countered the Soviets WARSAW Pact; part of the military stand-off (cold war).

No country joined in 1954. Greece and Turkey joined in 1952 and West Germany joined in 1955.

Spain is member of the NATO and the Western European Union (a military alliance between UK, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg and France independent of NATO and nowadays under "control" of the Security and foreing relations representative of the European Union)

5.56x45mm NATO, standardized under STANAG 4172, is a rifle cartridge. It is a standard cartridge for NATO forces, and for several nations not part of NATO. It is derived from, but not entirely interchangeable with, the .223 Remington cartridge. This is due to, among other things, the greater gas pressure of the 5.56 mm military round.

What you're asking is impossible to answer here. Firstly, the bullet weights are variable in different loads in the same cartridge. Second, there are powder charge weight variables (different powders, different charge amounts). Thirdly, different brass weights differently. If you have steel cased ammo (for the 5.56x45 and .223) the weight changes yet again. Fourthly, even primers can vary in weight.

There are too many variables to answer this...if you really want to know, buy a cheap balance beam scale and start weighin'.

It was called the Iron Curtain.

After the USSR collapsed, all of the former Soviet countries remained in a military alliance. This military alliance is called the Commonwealth of Independent States or CIS.

NATO stands for 'North Atlantic Treaty Organization'.NATO promotes the defense of all NATO member countries.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization originated in 1949. It was created bu the United States, Canada and several Western European countries to provide collective security against the Soviet Union.

NATO- the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation offered all European countries economic and military aid. While the Marshall plan offered only economic aid. But both were attempts to stop communism from spreading and causing the "domino affect"- which Eastern politicians believed at this time would happen (and they were right.)

Turkey joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1952, and was the easternmost member of the alliance. Under the Truman Doctrine (1947), the US supported Turkey against pressure by the USSR and communist movements in Turkey and Greece. US missile bases in Turkey were dismantled following the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1963. Turkey is the only Islamic nation in NATO.

The communists said they will masturbate to NATO officials.

It stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. It has 28 members In 1949, there were 12 founding members: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States. The other member countries are: Greece and Turkey (1952), Germany (1955), Spain (1982), the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland (1999), Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia (2004), and Albania and Croatia were the last to join, in 2009.

The intervention in Libya is actually a UN mission, authorized by the Security Council of the UN. It just happens to be that the UN members who have chosen to participate are also members of NATO. I believe there is some participation by Dubai as well, which is a non-NATO nation.

Finland, Austria, Ireland, Yugoslavia, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Malta, and Sweden are the traditionally neutral countries.

During the Cold War, there were also the Warsaw Pact countries, of course, which consisted of the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Romania, East Germany, Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. Albania was originally a member, but withdrew in 1968, and declared themselves a neutral country. Currently, Albania is a member of NATO.

Because they are in the North Atlantic.
