Summary
NATO was formed as a react to the Berlin Blockade. NATO's goal was to be a mutual defense organization: an armed attack against any one member would be considered an attack against them all.In 1952, Greece and Turkey joined NATO. In 1954, the Soviet Union suggested it should join, but NATO members refused, fearing the Soviet's intentions were to weaken the alliance from the inside. When West Germany was integrated into NATO in 1955, the Soviet Union responded by forming the Warsaw Pact.
