4 Apr 1949 Jahr - NATO Formed

Beschreibung:

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was formed on April 4, 1949, as a military alliance of Western European countries, the United States, and Canada, established to provide collective security against the Soviet Union. This alliance marked a significant shift in American foreign policy towards permanent peacetime alliances, as it committed each member to consider an armed attack against one as an attack against all, effectively deterring Soviet expansion in Europe.
