NATO assignment

NATO snow day assignment

            The original purpose of NATO was to form an alliance between The United States and Europe in response to the possible spread of the Soviet Union. Since this disbandment of the Soviet Union, the original purpose of the alliance has changed.
            In the 21st century, NATO has expanded its partnerships with countries outside of Europe. Some of those new countries include: Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Latvia, etc. The focus of NATO has shifted to peace keeping. The more countries that join NATO and the more conflicts that are diffused by the organization, the less of a chance that Putin’s Russia can spread to weaker countries. On the same token, NATO has counterterrorism efforts. This was first demonstrated in Afghanistan.
            Even though the purpose of NATO has shifted, it still holds weight today. Regardless of the Soviet Union’s disbandment, partnerships have still expanded over the world. Originally, the organization was created in reaction to a powerful and influential regime, but now the organization has recognized that the more countries that join NATO, the less of a chance that powerful regimes like the Soviet Union can be born again.
