Mutually assured destruction is based around the idea that if a nuclear war took place between the United States and Soviet Union during the Cold War, both countries would be absolutely destroyed. The military capabilities of both countries would result in the deaths of millions and the destruction of hundreds, possibly even thousands, of cities. This is why the leaders of the United States and Soviet Union consistently compromised despite huge differences in economic and political ideologies.

What role do you think NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) should play in the post- Cold War world? (35 points)

Mkey [24]

Hello

The main reason behind the formation of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was to defend themselves against Soviet aggression. It was a treaty that was created by United States of America along with Canada and several western European Nations. The treaty was created in the year 1949.
NATO was the first peace time alliance between several
countries along with United States of America. The Second World War had
devastated several European countries economically and they did not want the
Soviets to take advantage of this position.
