WARSAW PACT
The Warsaw Pact was a collective defence pact formed by the Soviet Union and 7 other Soviet satellite states in Central and Eastern Europe: Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania (Albania withdrew in 1968). The Warsaw Pact represented the so-called Eastern Bloc, while NATO and its member states represented the Western Bloc. NATO and the Warsaw Pact were ideologically opposed to each other and over time developed their own defences, initiating an arms race that would last throughout the Cold War.
