NATO

NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is a military alliance established in 1949 to promote collective security among its member countries in North America and Europe. It operates on the principle that an attack on one member is considered an attack on all, ensuring mutual defense. NATO aims to maintain peace, deter aggression, and promote stability through coordinated military efforts and political cooperation. Membership includes countries committed to shared values of democracy and security, working together to address global threats and crises.
