NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY
ORGANIATION
Brief History of
NATO
As World War II came to a close, the alliance
 between the Soviet Union and Western
powers deteriorated. Europe needed a plan
for maintaining long-term peace. Under
terms outlined at the Yalta and Potsdam
Conferences, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin
was given temporary control of Poland and a
portion of Germany. However, it quickly
became clear that the Soviet Union had
greater ambitions, as it sponsored 
communist-led coups in Czechoslovakia and
surrounding east European territories.
Fearful of further Soviet encroachment on
Western Europe, these countries discussed
forming an organization capable of providing
mutual security.
