What is Warsaw Pact

The Warsaw Pact was a group of Communist states in Central and Eastern Europe. The Warsaw pact was signed on May 14, 1955 in Warsaw, Poland. The pact was created so that if any country in the pact were to be the victim of aggression, the other countries in the pact would defend them. The Soviet Union initiated the pact in response to West Germany entering the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1955. As such, the treaty was a military-treaty organization initiated and sponsored by the Soviet Union and was the European Communist Bloc’s counterpart to NATO (Broadhurst. 1982).
