Features: This book narrates the development process of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) over more than half a century since the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on April 4, 1949. NATO emerged after World War II as a result of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, serving as the largest military-political Cold War tool for Western countries. During the implementation of Western Cold War policies and practices, NATO played a decisive role and had a significant impact on the formation of the bipolar Cold War structure. Throughout the Cold War, NATO itself developed and established a set of organizational mechanisms, decision-making and operational procedures, forming its unique military-political behavior patterns. After the end of the Cold War, NATO continued to exist and played a role in the international landscape of the post-Cold War era. We await with anticipation its future actions.
