The Treaty of Brussels signed 17th March 1948 by France,Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg and the UK is thought to be the startof NATO. This Treaty and the Russian Blockage of Berlin led to theforming of the Western European Union Defence Organisation inSeptember 1948. In order to counter the military might of Russia,it was deemed necessary to involve the USA, and new talks startedimmediately.
These talks created the North Atlantic Treaty signed on 4thApril 1949 by the original five plus USA, Canada, Norway,Italy,Portugal, Iceland and Denmark.
The Berlin blockade convinced many Americans that the Sovietswere bent on conquest. The public began to support a militaryalliance with Western Europe.

NATO was formed in 1949. The point of NATO was to counter thethreat of post-war communism extending it's influence into Europeusing the method of collective defence. This means an attack on onemember of NATO would be looked upon as an attack on all members,and all members of NATO would react against the common enemy.
In the 50's the Soviet Union made up their own counter-allianceknown as the Warsaw Pact. These were the 2 sides of the cold war upto 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed and with it the WarsawPact.
