What is the main purpose of NATO?

To promote free trade in the North Atlantic region
To defend member countries if they are attacked
To oversee nuclear disarmament
To provide financial loans to developing countries

The correct answer is: To defend member countries if they are attacked

NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was formed in 1949 as a military alliance with the main purpose of ensuring the collective defense of its member countries. This means that if one member country is attacked, the other members are obligated to come to its defense. Therefore, the other options are incorrect as they do not align with NATO's main purpose of providing collective defense. NATO does not deal with trade or financial loans, and although it promotes peace and security, it does not oversee nuclear disarmament.
