NATO and The Warsaw Pact

NATO is the organization of countries to defend each other, just in case that anything should happen to another country do to the Soviet Union. This didn't go good with the Soviet Union, they saw this as a threat because some many countries against one country, so Russia made the Warsaw pact. This allied Russia with Poland and other countries. America formed these pact because they were afraid of the Russia, so they wanted allies to help them, just in case anything happened. The whole reason behind this Cold war was because of the fact that they had two different economics systems. With these pacts, they hoped to scare and intimidate the others from actually trying to attack them, they didn't want to fight because, if they did, the whole world would probably destroyed or affected by these Nuclear weapons. This was the main reason why they didn't just set off a war by nuking each other, because it would affect the whole world and would destroy these two nations.
