In the same month, the western part of Germany officially became a new
nation, the Federal Republic of Germany, also called West Germany. It included
West Berlin. A few months later, from its occupation zone, the Soviet Union creat-
ed the German Democratic Republic, called East Germany. It included East Berlin.
THE NATO ALLIANCE The Berlin
blockade increased Western European
fear of Soviet aggression. As a result,
ten Western European nations—
Belgium, Denmark, France, Great
Britain, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg,
the Netherlands, Norway, and
Portugal—joined with the United
States and Canada on April 4, 1949, to
form a defensive military alliance
called the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO). (See map,
page 830.) The 12 members of NATO
pledged military support to one
another in case any member was
attacked. For the first time in its histo-
ry, the United States had entered into
a military alliance with other nations
during peacetime. The Cold War had
ended any hope of a return to U.S.
isolationism. Greece and Turkey joined
NATO in 1952, and West Germany
joined in 1955. By then, NATO kept a
standing military force of more than
500,000 troops as well as thousands of
planes, tanks, and other equipment.
