Warsaw Pact
Warsaw Pact A treaty of mutual defence and military aid signed in Warsaw on 14 May 1955 by Communist states of Eastern Europe under Soviet leadership. Established during the era of the Cold War in response to the creation of NATO, it began to break up in 1968 when Albania left and was finally dissolved in February 1991 following the collapse of the Communist system in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
