In addition to the United States and Canada, 10 other countries became members of NATO in 1949, including: Belgium, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and Great Britain.

Other European countries have over the years avoided joining NATO, including Sweden and Finland.
