NATO 2
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was first formed in 1949 as a counter measure to the communist expansion in Europe. At the end of the Second World War, the Soviet Union did not liberate the recovering countries, but turned them all communist. These European countries were known as the "buffer zone" as they separated the Soviet Union from the rest of the western European countries. The Soviet Union had become a communist threat to the rest of Europe and North America. NATO was formed as a military alliance so when one of the member nations were attacked it was considered an attack on all of the members in the alliance. This alliance was a means for collective crisis management and peacekeeping in Europe. The alliance focused on a collective defence to bring about the peace and stability throughout Europe. Lately, NATO's role has changed as the crisis in Kosovo has brought up much controversy about their actions around the world. There is much tension between the Serbs and the Albanians in the Yugoslav province of Kosovo. The Albanians are caught in the forefront of the province's struggle for independence. As Slobodan Milosevic, the Yugoslav leader, backs the Serbs in trying to force the Albanians out of the province, he is
Canada must maintain its role with NATO until they can force Slobodan Milosevic to the negotiating table. Canada has a good reputation by helping in times of war. Canada has always been to the aid of other countries in trouble. This is an appropriate role for Canada as they are saving many lives, keeping Europe stable, and putting a stop to Slobodan Milosevic's cruel intentions for the province of Yugoslavia. willing to use violence to take the Albanians' land away from them. The Serbs being the minority population of the province feel that they have the right to take the land, as it is sacred Serbian territory. NATO had come to the rescue to help stop the Serbs from taking any more land and hurting innocent people. As a result NATO has been bombing Kosovo, trying to force Milosevic to sign peace agreements. Some Canadians believe that Canada is taking the wrong actions in Kosovo by damaging property that will take a number of years to repair from the bombs. Our actions are risks to our own military as this crisis could back fire and Canada would have to send ground troops in risking the lives of our soldiers. The actions that are presently taking place in Kosovo are considered by many to be inappropriate actions for Canada, as Canada is known for its peacekeeping. On the other hand, other Canadians believe we have made the right decision in order to stop Milosevic from continuing with his plans to eliminate the Albanians from Kosovo. Canada must maintain its role with the other NATO allies
