Explanation:

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was founded in 1949 as a collective defense alliance. Its core purpose was to unify Western European nations and North America against the perceived threat of Communist aggression from the Soviet bloc during the Cold War. The other options are incorrect: it was not focused on aiding refugees as a primary goal, its scope was Europe (not Asia), and economic equality was not its core objective.

Answer:

to unite Western Europe in response to the threat of Communist aggression.
