The Warsaw Pact was a political-military alliance between the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW21378596 BCX0\">Romania,<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW21378596 BCX0\"> and Albania, signed in Warsaw (Poland) on May 14, 1955, with a term of 20 years. The provisions of the Warsaw Pact provided for mutual consultation between the participating states on important international problems, for joint action for military <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW21378596 BCX0\">assistance<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW21378596 BCX0\">in the event of<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW21378596 BCX0\"> an armed attack or a threat to one or several members of the treaty. It envisaged the existence of joint armed forces, predetermined for actions, under a unified command, with a unique doctrine and with a certain degree of organization and cooperation. The armed forces of the Warsaw Pact numbered <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW21378596 BCX0\">4,800,000 men<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW21378596 BCX0\">, about 65,000 tanks, about 11,000 fighter planes and about 1,000 large warships. In February 1991, the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact was signed in Budapest. <\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW21378596 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml_lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span
