NATO was founded in 1949, during the Cold War era, as a military alliance to counter the Soviet Union and its allies.

Collective defense is a principle of NATO that means an attack on one member is considered an attack on all members, and all members will respond accordingly.

Decisions in the North Atlantic Council are made by consensus among member countries.

The EU, or European Union, is a political and economic union of 27 member states located primarily in Europe.

The European Coal and Steel Community was founded in 1951, with the goal of integrating European countries economically and preventing further war.

The three EU countries that are economically most important are Germany, France, and Italy.

The goal of the European Union is to promote peace, stability, and economic prosperity among its members.

One benefit that European citizens enjoy is the ability to travel, live, and work freely within the EU.

The EU is beneficial to economically weaker countries through financial assistance and access to the single market, which allows for increased trade and economic growth.
