Why was NATO formed following World War II?

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was created in 1949 by the United States, Canada, and several Western European nations to provide collective security against the Soviet Union. NATO was the first peacetime military alliance the United States entered into outside of the Western Hemisphere. ~ google

AnimeGhoul8863:

you are no help BS and Pixel thats not what i needed i needed to know WHY it was formed following WW2

Pixel:

NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It is primarily a military alliance of European nations and America defending Europe from Soviet aggression following World War II. It defended free (i.e, Western) Europe from the Communist-dominated Eastern Europe. Even today, we maintain military installations in Europe, even though the Soviet Union no longer exists. The focus is less on defending against Communists, but maintaining security in Europe against other enemies, especially Jihadis

Shadow:

Yeah it was made because the United States and it's allies feared communism.
