• For 75 years, NATO has brought peace and prosperity to Europe, the United States, and their allies. Now a grueling war in Ukraine heralds severe tests ahead for the alliance.
As NATO marks its 75th anniversary on April 4, leaders of the 32 member states are celebrating what is widely considered the greatest and most effective military alliance in history.

Yet it was also at the visionary forefront of reaching for those goals from a foundation of core principles: democratic governance, universal human rights, and the rule of law.
