Question

How does Nato tie in with the cold war being inevitable

Answer 1

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) was created in 1949. NATO was seen as being a viable military deterrent against the military might of the Soviet Union. In response to NATO admitting the membership of West Germany, the Soviet Union was to gather all its client states in Eastern Europe into the Warsaw Pact in May 1955  so in my opinion if this had not happened the cold was would have been avoided
