NATO by Egantx7

NATO's origins can be seen in the Treaty of THIS CITY, which was signed by France, the UK, and the Benelux nations. Today, the headquarters of NATO is in this city.

Upon becoming leader of his nation, this guy spit a bit at the USA having way too much power in the NATO sphere, and at first proposed a leadership scheme where France, the UK, and US would have equal power, and then proposed a plan so that in the event of Soviet invasion, his nation could negotiate separately while screwing over the rest of NATO. In 1966, this dude removed his nation's forces from NATO command and ordered all NATO forces out of his nation, a situation that remained until 2009, though the US and his nation secretly worked out a way to integrate his nation's forces in case of attack. Identify this world leader whose hobbies were pissing people (even the Canadians!) off and dodging assassination attempts.

Article 5 of the NATO charter is the mutual defense pact which is popularly translated as "an attack on one is an attack on all". This article has only been invoked one time in the history of NATO. This article was invoked by which historic event?

In 1954, this man proposed that the USSR join NATO. After asking his deputy, Andrei Gromyko, to draft a proposal that would promise to keep the US as part of the pan-European security collective, it was approved and sent to the UK, France, and US ... which soundly rejected the idea. Identify this man, then holding the positions of First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, and Minister of Foreign Affairs, who in 1939 negotiated the neutrality pact between the USSR and Nazi Germany

This is the only NATO member that has no standing army. In the 1970s, this nation won a "war" with the UK over exclusive fishing rights when the UK capitulated to them to avoid this nation leaving NATO, and taking with it control of critical anti-submarine locations that it controlled. Identify this nation that won the Cod Wars over the British, and was a key setting of a Soviet invasion in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising.

Between 1955 and 1990, membership was fairly stable with the addition of only one new member in 1982. Which nation joined NATO in 1982, largely able to do so because of dramatic changes to it's government over the past seven years, then under new prime minister Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo.

The Soviets and Russians called these vessels the Akula class, but under NATO standardized naming, this name was applied to the Soviet Akula submarines. Today, the Dmitriy Donskoi is the last of this class to prowl the ocean depths, making it the largest submarine in the world. Identify the NATO standardized name for this class of Soviet built ballistic missile submarines which only in fiction included one named Красный Oктябрь. This name also names a kind of meteorological phenomenon.

In 1974, this nation withdrew from NATO - a situation that was precipitated when another NATO member invaded an ally. Identify this nation which saw the collapse of its EOKA-B (and US supported) military junta in the wake of two invasions against its ally, but despite restoring its democratic government, remained out of NATO until 1980.

In April 1982, Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, but NATO's Article 5 could not be invoked by the UK because of the location of the islands. The NATO charter specifically notes that attacks on member territories south of this line of latitude cannot lead to Article 5 being invoked, meaning a North Korean attack on Guam would likewise not trigger Article 5 being invoked. Identify the line of latitude which marks the southern border of Article 5 requests for intervention, a line of latitude so-named because of the sun's location during the summer solstice.

Name the town. At the conclusion of the Yugoslav war in 1995, NATO took over responsibility for keeping the peace as the former Yugoslav republics disengaged. The treaty was initialed at a facility in this town, adjacent to an older aviation facility that had been used by the Wright Brothers. This arrangement, the first NATO military action in Europe, was codified in a treaty named for which town (sometimes shared with Paris) which created a framework to transition from war to peace in the region? The treaty was initialed in this town, and then formally signed in Paris.

One of this nation's burning questions, as it has since 1949, is whether or not to join NATO or not. This nation's military has partnered with NATO on past missions, including intervention in Bosnia and in Libya, but not even the release of a report in 2013 showing that Russia had wargamed nuclear attacks on this nation swayed its populace away from neutrality. In the wake of Russia's annexation of the Crimea, the detection of a mysterious submarine near this nation's capital, and several Russian fighters penetrating their airspace, this nation may be changing its tune. Along with Switzerland, the last nation maintaining a neutral nation presence in the Korean DMZ, identify this nation whose more moderate parties are now exploring NATO membership.

Which basic geometry term is also the acronym used to name the central military command of NATO, formerly (prior to 1951) located in France, but currently located in Casteau, Belgium?
