What NATO Has Contributed to European Peace

In the years following the end of the Second World War, the post-war world that many in the West hoped for never materialized. 

Their former ally, the Soviet Union, turned from friend to foe. They installed puppet communist governments in all of the countries they occupied when pushing their way to Germany, and now the concern was that the Soviets would try to take over the rest of Europe. 

In response, twelve nations in Western Europe and North America joined together in a military alliance, the likes of which hadn’t been seen before in history.
