The Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, more commonly known by the name Warsaw Pact was a socialist and anti-imperialist mutual defense pact between the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries.[1] It initially included Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the GDR, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the USSR. Albania left the Warsaw Pact in 1968 after siding with China in the Sino-Soviet split.[2]
