NATO
NATO
A centralized administrative structure was set up, and three major commands
were established, focused on Europe, the Atlantic, and the English Channel
(disbanded in 1994).
The admission of West Germany to NATO in 1955 led to the Soviet Union’s
creation of the opposing Warsaw Treaty Organization, or Warsaw Pact.
Because NATO ground forces were smaller than those of the Warsaw Pact, the
balance of power was maintained by superior weaponry, including intermediate-
range nuclear weapons.
