Military Alliance
NATO is well-known for its military and political alliance, as well as Article 5. Today, NATO's Article 5 has been invoked once by the 9/11 terrorist attack. Article 5 commits each member state to consider an armed attack against one member state, in Europe or North
America, to be an armed attack
against them all.
So in a hypothetical invasion by
some major country would be an
attack on all of NATO.
Members
In 1949, there were twelve members. Today, NATO's members are twenty-eight. NATO's HQ is located in Brussels, Belgium, who is a member of this organisation.
The original twelve include: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, The UK, and The US.
NATO Today
Although the threat of Soviet expansion has disappeared from the world (*cough*Putin*cough*), there is still the act of keeping peace and democracy in Europe, both diplomatically and militarily.
If needed, NATO will enact
sanctions or may even use
military force to enforce and
exert their will.
NATO/OTAN's Birth
Founded on April 4, 1949, in Washington, D.C., NATO was designed to strengthen and unify Western Europe.
Its three main purposes were to deter Soviet expansion, forbid the revival of nationalist militarism in Europe, and encourage European political integration.
