Warsaw Pact

The Warsaw pact was the result of a treaty which the USSR and seven of its surrounding countries signed. The treaty was signed by the USSR, Albania, Poland, Romania, Hungary, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Bulgaria, in Warsaw, Poland in 1955. This was created 6 years after the Western nations created NATO in 1949. This treaty was a “treaty of friendship, cooperation, and mutual assistance” ("APPENDIX C: THE WARSAW PACT -- Soviet Union"). The USSR stated that the reason for the creation of this

The Warsaw Pact Invasion of Czechoslovakia The world political conversation today is the state of affairs in the Ukraine with protester in recent months protesting for a more pro-western European influence of government. Since the Ukraine has been in an economic crisis in the last few years, the current President Viktor F. Yanukovich decided to take an aid package from the Russian’s. This acceptance of the Russian aid package infuriated many in the Ukraine and has stifled the government with

Why did the Warsaw Pact intervene in Czechoslovakia in 1968 but not in Poland in 1980? When conducting a comparative analysis there are several arguments that need to be developed in order to come up with a feasible conclusion. Therefore by using a three-fold approach I will be exploring the question of why the Warsaw Pact intervened in Czechoslovakia but not in Poland. One could begin by focusing on the origin of the reforms in both countries. Czechoslovakia adopted a “top down” approach headed

anti-communism alliance, and the Warsaw alliance is a communism alliance. I agree with NATO alliance by trying to stop the communism alliances. Warsaw Was a collective defense treaty among eight communist states of Central and Eastern Europe in existence during the Cold War, led by the USSR. The Warsaw Pact was the military complement to the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, the regional economic organization for the communist states of Central and Eastern Europe. The Warsaw Pact was in part a Soviet

NATO and Warsaw Pact in General Both created to circumvent UN and both were created to defends against outside powers (NATO-The Western Join Forces, WARSAW-The Communist Alliance). The difference is that NATO was created first. When NATO was created, the USSR knew that UN was practically useless and that if the western powers were allying to prevent the spread of Communist, they needed to create a military organization or pact of its own. Similarities and Differences of NATO and Warsaw Pact in Their

with a US victory. The war had important effects on the politics of both Germany and Italy and this essay will address how. One factor that will be addressed is how the deterrence and the consequences created by NATO and the Warsaw Pact affected the

European countries. They worked together to defend each other. So the Soviet Union cannot take over their country. On May 14 1955, The Soviet Union and The Communist Nations in Eastern Europe made a rival alliance against The NATO called The Warsaw Pact. Signing the pact made The Soviet Union look like they were controlling the Communist Nations in Eastern Europe. The NATO and

for hundreds of years; both politically and culturally. So much so, that this hegemony came to be seen as the natural order off things (Giles, K. Russian Roulette, 2016). For such a world view, the 1991 dissolution of the Warsaw Pact was especially alarming. As former Warsaw Pact countries signed on to become members of the European Union, or NATO, or even both; these Russians saw the West’s embrace of their former client states as an advancing military threat. The Cold War was over, why expand NATO

Prague Spring, 1968 The Prague Spring is referred to when the Warsaw Pact allies invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968. In 1948, communism was the only political party in Czechoslovakia. The communist take-over was a very popular movement. One reason why it was such a popular movement is because Joseph Stalin signed an agreement with Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt that stated that, the Red Army, which would then lead to pro-communism, would liberate Czechoslovakia. The second reason why this was

The Possibility of a Role for NATO in International Relations When NATO was founded in 1949, it had a clearly defined role. It was an alliance for collective security against the USSR and the Warsaw Pact, whereby if one member state was attacked, the rest would come to her aid under article 5. Since the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, however, the role of NATO has become a great deal less clearly defined, since its members no longer really have any
