The initials NATO, means National Atlantic Treaty Organization, the purpose of this organization was that Europe and North America wanted a mutual defense alliance just in case any of them were attacked by another country , NATO would be there to help them. As competition rose between the Soviet Union and the western powers the purpose of the NATO worsened. The problems started because the Soviet union started to try to spread communist throughout out the world. While this was going on many European countries hoped and prayed the United States would honor the agreement with the NATO, and rescue them. But they lost faith in the United States after they entered the Vietnam War. As things worsened the NATO build a shield to protect themselves from the Soviet Unions plan to build a nuclear weapon. This protection lasted for a good while, until the Soviet Union felt threatened and created a treaty called Wars pact.
The Wars pact was established exactly six years after the NATO, it was signed on May 1, 1955. It was the organization of basically the Soviet Union and their satellites countries. It was another version of the NATO. The treaty was their first step in recovery. It was used as a military defense for the Soviet Union. Until the Soviet Union attacked Czechoslovakia and Hungary, which were joined in agreement with the Wars pact. This act caused the Wars pact to be renewed in 1985. After it was renewed the Soviet Union's system weakened and they began to take their troops out of countries that had signed the Wars pact with them. As everything fell the Wars pact disappeared.
