Question #2ed29

Answer 1

It led to the creation of NATO in 1949.

Explanation:

The Warsaw Pact was the alliance of Eastern European countries which had sunk into communism.

Nato(North Atlantic treaty organization) was founded in 1949 as a dialectical response to prevent the communist contamination.

Answer 2

The Warsaw Pact was formed in 1955, six years after NATO.

Explanation:

The Warsaw Pact integrated the military forces of Eastern Europe under Soviet control. More immediately it was a response to West Germany being integrated into NATO.

In that sense the question should be reversed as it was a reaction to action by the West rather than the other way around.

It certainly contributed to the heightened tension of the Cold War associated with that period.
