Was NATO created to unite Western powers against Russia?

Question

yes, it was Mr. Dover

Answer 1

Soon after the War (WW II) the allies fell apart. Cold War replaced it. First they had to partition Germany. Germany as well as Berlin(capital)  were divided into 4 zones. American, British & French on the west and Russian on east. The 3 western zones were united into 'Federal Republic of Germany' and West Berlin. The immediate fall-out of this was the cutting off of West Berlin, surrounded by East Germany from the West. A massive  airlift was organised to bring allied persons (UK, France, USA) from there. The Berlin wall was not built then. Then to sustain the confrontation at Germany's core, each created their military alliances, NATO of the west and 'Warsaw pact' on the east by Russia (USSR) and satellites. Thus these two were the creations of Cold War, brought about by the armed stand-off  running across Germany. The latter comprised of USSR, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria. NATO members were UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Federal German Republic, Denmark, Norway, Greece, Turkey, Canada and USA. This ensured commonality of military and standards, uniform military methods and strategy and military response.

The basic goals of NATO are the following fundamental tasks:

1) Security: To ensure a stable Euro-Atlantic security environment based on the growth of democratic institutions and commitment to the peaceful resolution of disputes.

2) Consultations: To act pursuant to Article 4 of the Washington Treaty as the basic transatlantic forum for consultations between the Allies on all issues affecting their vital interests, including potential events that might pose a threat to security of an individual member; and for appropriate harmonisation of their endeavours in the areas of common interest.

3) Deterrence and defence: To deter and defend any NATO member from any threat of aggression, as provided for in Articles 5 and 6 of the Washington Treaty.

4) Crisis management: To be ready on the case-by-case basis and on the principle of consensus to contribute to efficient conflict prevention and active engagement in crises management, including the crisis-response operations, as laid down by Article 7 of the Washington Treaty.

5) Partnership: To promote broad partnership, cooperation and dialogue with other countries in the Euro-Atlantic area, with the aim of promoting transparency, mutual trust and interoperability.
