U.S. military strategies had a big impact on what NATO did during the Cold War. Here’s how:
Containment Policy: This was aimed at stopping the Soviet Union from growing. Because of this, NATO countries boosted their military spending. They spent about 12% more on their military from 1950 to 1960.
Truman Doctrine: The U.S. gave more than $400 million to Greece and Turkey. This showed how committed the U.S. was to helping its allies.
Military Alliances: NATO started with 12 countries in 1949 and grew to 16 countries by 1980. This change showed how nations worked together for defense under a special agreement known as Article 5.
