The Warsaw Pact (14 May 1955) is a treaty that holds most communist nations of Europe in a military command under Soviet control. Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union signed the treaty as a response to the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), a defense alliance formed by the United States and its European allies. NATO based on a treaty signed in 1949, had begun operations in 1950. Albania withdrew from the Warsaw Pact in 1968. A Soviet army general serves as supreme commander of Warsaw Pact forces, whose military head quarters are in Moscow.
The Warsaw Pact is also called as The Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Understanding.
