From what source 2 states, if one or more of the nations that are members of NATO are attacked, then the other nations that are of NATO will join to defend the nation that was attacked. Also, each nation part of NATO will do their best to avoid fighting unless Absolutely necessary.
2. The members of NATO argued that this was a defensive alliance. Explain why Stalin was not convinced about this.
Stalin didn't believe that NATO was about defense because the US armies were basically invading Europe through a treaty. Though they were not there to change governments or take land, Us troops were still being put in European countries. They are there only to be ready to fight. Stalin saw a growing army in different countries than just protection against him.
3. Study the cartoon in Source 4. Does the cartoon give the impression that Stalin feels threatened by NATO?
Well in the cartoon, Stalin is looking at them in a very skeptical way. He is more like glaring at them than anything else. The NATO team doesn't really look very friendly towards him. The guy with the monobrow looks especially unhappy with Stalin. They look tense and the NATO group is looking down almost leaning forward waiting for Stalin to make his move.
4. Explain how Sources 4 and 5 present NATO in different ways.
In Source 4, NATO is just kind of waiting for Stalin to do something really bad. But in source 5 NATO is shown as a vicious dog ready to jump on the USSR at any moment. They show 2 different sides to what NATO could be perceived as.
5. Now explain why they present NATO in different ways.
I dont really know much about todays NATO. It must preserve peace throughout the world and theres still the alies and they work together for a common goal...? :D
