📖 Key Information

# North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) The **North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)** is a prominent intergovernmental military alliance consisting of 32 member states across Europe and North America. Established as a cornerstone of post-World War II international relations, the organization functions as a framework for collective security and political cooperation. ### Historical Origins NATO was founded on **April 4, 1949**, with the signing of the **North Atlantic Treaty** (also known as the Washington Treaty). Its creation was driven by the need to ensure peace in Europe, deter Soviet expansionism during the Cold War, and foster political integration across the Atlantic. ### Core Principles and Collective Defense The fundamental principle of the alliance is the concept of **collective defense**, as enshrined in **Article 5** of the Washington Treaty. This provision dictates that an armed attack against one member state is considered an attack against all members. Consequently, all independent member states are committed to assisting the victim of such an attack, including the use of armed force, to maintain the security of the North Atlantic area. ### Membership and Geography As of 2024, the alliance comprises: * **30 European Member States** * **2 North American Member States** (Canada and the United States) ### Primary Functions * **Security Guarantee:** Providing a deterrent against external aggression through shared military capabilities. * **Political Consultation:** Serving as a forum where members can consult on security issues and pursue cooperative efforts in fields such as crisis management and peacekeeping. * **Interoperability:** Standardizing military equipment and procedures among member nations to ensure effective joint operations.
