The Warsaw Pact was another mutual defense alliance like NATO but an organization of communist states in Central and Eastern Europe. The Warsaw Pact was ran by the Soviet Union in the Cold War. The Soviets were able to create a nuclear bomb in Cuba to use while they were in the war. This alliance was created as a response to the NATO.
