NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is a political and military alliance of countries from North America and Europe. It was established in the aftermath of World War II to prevent another such conflict. NATO’s mission is to guarantee the freedom and security of its members through political and military means. NATO countries are committed to mutual defense, meaning that an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. The organization is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.
