14 mai 1955 - Creation of Warsaw Pact
Description:
In response to West Germany joining NATO, the Soviet Union formed its own military alliance with 7 other Eastern European countries (including East Germany, Poland, and Czechoslovakia). While it was created to defend against military attacks, there was also a use in keeping control over countries within the Soviet sphere of influence. During the Czechoslovakian and Hungarian revolts, it was Warsaw Pact troops that were sent to put them down.Ajouté au bande de temps:
