NATO and the Warsaw Pact

NATO is an organization that includes countries in Europe and North America. NATO was formed so that if one of the countries were attacked by some country, they (NATO) would come and aide them. It was like a defense mechanism.

The Warsaw Pact is an organization that consisted mostly of the Soviet Union and its satellite countries. The pact was made by the Soviet Union (Russia) because they were scared that the US would attack them with Nuclear weapons and they were scared that the US made NATO so they wanted the US to get scared of them so they did that.
