The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was founded in 1949 as a defensive alliance between the United States and Europe to confront threats. This alliance became a cornerstone of collective security in the Western world.
The creation of NATO was a response to growing post-war tensions as the world stood on the brink of a new era of geopolitical competition. The primary goal of the alliance was to protect its members from any form of aggression.
Since then, NATO has continued to adapt to changing challenges, remaining committed to the principles of collective defense and stability in the region.
