NATO and Warsaw Pact
Notes:
- Reaction to the Berlin Blockade
- Headquarters in Brussels
- Attack by Russia was seen as an attack on the entire organization
- First military action taken in 1994 in Bosnia
- Treaty of Friendship, Co-operation and Mutual Assistance
- In reaction to a remilitarized-West Germany joining NATO
- Dissolved in June of 1991 after the collapse of the former Soviet Union
Summary: As a reaction to the Berlin Blockade, NATO was formed, with headquarters in Brussels. The Warsaw Pact was in reaction to the re militarized West Germany joining NATO, and created the Treaty of Friendship, Co-operation and Mutual Assistance.
Subjective question: If Warsaw wasn't created, what would the effect on Europe be?
