Explanation

The Warsaw Pact was signed on May 14, 1955, in Warsaw, Poland. Officially known as the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance, it was formed as a military and political alliance led by the Soviet Union and several Eastern European nations. This pact served as a response to the formation of NATO in 1949, aiming to counterbalance Western military influence. Member countries included Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the Soviet Union. Marshal Ivan Konev was appointed as the first Supreme Commander of the Warsaw Pact, serving from 1955 to 1960.
