North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
NATO provides unified
military leadership for the common defense of 26
Western nations. It was established in 1950 by
the nations allied by the North Atlantic Treaty,
which provided for their collective defense
against a possible attack by Russia or any other
aggressor. Article 5 of the treaty provides that
an armed attack against one or more member
nations in Europe or North America shall be
considered an attack against all members. |
