Due to the conflict of ideology between Russia and America, there was always an atmosphere of mutual distrust and suspicion for the rival country. Due to the fear born out of this constant distrust, superpowers went on to form their own military bases and groups. The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was one of the group. It was formed in the year 1949 and not 1950.
