Why does NATO matter?

Here's an old story that you may have heard before. In 1932, on the eve of Hitler's rise to power, Einstein asked Freud, "Why war?" Freud replied, "Because man is what he is." War remains an unwelcome constant of the human experience. It has occurred since the beginning of known history and continues today.

Despite this, we do try to prevent it. After the utter devastation of World War 2, in response to the growing threat of militarism and Soviet expansion in Europe, NATO, one of the world's oldest international military alliances, came into existence.

In this video, students, academics, and experts explain why they believe NATO still matters in today's global pursuit of international peace and security.

This video was produced by Victoria Heath, with music by Blake Heath; and presented by Women in International Security Canada (WIIS), with support from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
