The Only Time NATO Ever Activated Article 5 And It Was for America #shorts

Education

For decades, North Atlantic Treaty Organization was seen as the military shield of Western Europe. Its most important rule was simple: An attack on one member would be treated as an attack on all. During the Cold War, many expected that clause to be triggered by a conflict in Europe. It never was. Instead, the first and only activation came after the September 11 attacks. Allied nations rallied behind America. European and Canadian crews even helped patrol U.S. skies. In more than seven decades of NATO history, the alliance's most powerful promise has been used exactly once. And it was used for the United States.
