Why NATO?

From the creator

The History Guy explains why NATO exists, what its purpose has been since its founding in 1949, and why the alliance remains relevant today. I am constantly surprised by the opportunities that have come from being The History Guy. In the end I am just a guy who makes videos in his basement. But an invitation to go to NATO headquarters was unexpected.
