The Warsaw Pact was a military alliance formed in 1955 by the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries in response to the formation of NATO. The Pact integrated the armed forces of Eastern Europe under unified Soviet command and recognized East Germany as an independent state. It had two major organs - the Political Consultative Committee which handled political matters, and the Combined Command of Pact Armed Forces which controlled multi-national forces assigned to it. The purposes of the pact were to reinforce communist dominance in Eastern Europe and counterbalance NATO by increasing the Soviet Union's international power. Rising anti-Soviet and anti-communist movements in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s weakened the Pact, and it dissolved in 1991 when the Soviet Union relinquished control

9. How the Warsaw Pact influenced the Cold War

major factor in increasing
tensions between the
countries during the Cold

opposing alliance with the
NATO, the country
members of both parties
sent out terrible threats,
violent propagandas, and
other measures of open
warfare.

Soviet control of pact was failing.

11. Events that lead to the end of Warsaw Pact

began to crack the Warsaw Pact.
• In 1990, East Germany left the Warsaw Past in preparation for its reunification with West
Germany. Poland and Czechoslovakia also indicated their strong desire to withdraw.
• In March 1991, Soviet
military commanders
relinquished their control of
Warsaw Pact forces. A few
months later, the pact's
Political Consultative
Committee met for one
final time and formally
recognized that the
Warsaw Pact was no
more.
