Who is the founder of NATO?

NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was established on April 4, 1949, with the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington, D.C. While it does not have a single founder, key figures in its creation include U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson, British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, and Canadian Minister of External Affairs Lester B. Pearson, among others. The alliance was formed primarily in response to the threat posed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
