Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I whakatūria te Atlantic Alliance i te 4 o Aperira 1949 hei whakautu ki te whakawehi o te Communism, ā, i roto i tēnei horopaki raruraru i whakahoutia ai te ope rererangi o Belgium. He nui te hiahia mō ngā kaimahi me ngā taputapu nā te mea ko ngā taumahatanga ki te rāwhiti ki te uru e hiahia ana kia kaha ake te mataara i roto i te rangi o NATO. Ko te wehi o tētahi pakanga hou o te ao, i takea e te Pakanga o Berlin
ā, nā te Pakanga o Kōrea i pakaru mai i te tau 1950, i kaha ake ai te hiahia mō ngā kaiurungi. I te tau 1948, i hainatia e Belgium - pērā i ētahi atu whenua mema o te Atlantic Alliance - he kirimana mahi tahi hōia ki te United States. I taua tau ano, i hainatia e te United States he kirimana mahi tahi hoia me Belgium. Ko te Ture Awhina Awhina Whakawhanaunga i hipoki ehara i te tuku taputapu hoia anake, ina koa ko nga waka rererangi, engari ko te whakangungu kaimahi. Nō reira, i te tīmatanga o te tau 1951, ka haere nga ākonga Belgian tuatahi ki Te Hononga o Amerika ki te whakangungu hei paerata.
