Answer:
North Atlantic Treaty Organization was formed because Western European nations had turned to communism.
Explanation:
Since its inception, NATO's main goal has been to coordinate and fortify the Western Allies' military reaction to a potential Soviet invasion of western Europe and its Warsaw Pact allies. Early in the 1950s, NATO partially countered the Warsaw Pact's vastly bigger ground troops by threatening devastating nuclear retribution from the United States. This doctrine was supported by the placement of American nuclear weapons in locations in western Europe starting in 1957. Later, NATO developed a "flexible response" policy, which the US interpreted to suggest that a war in Europe didn't necessarily have to escalate to a full-scale nuclear exchange.
As part of this plan, several Allied forces were outfitted with American nuclear weapons for the battlefield and theatre of operations under a dual-control.
