During the heyday of the Cold War (roughly between 1949 and 1962), NATO followed the strategic doctrine of Massive Retaliation. According to which, if a power (read it as the Soviet Union) launches an attack on the alliance members, NATO would respond with nuclear weapons, no matter what the nature of the first attack was. Scholars and NATO officials claimed that the strategy of Massive Retaliation allowed the members of the alliance to focus their energies on economic growth rather than on maintaining large conventional armies.
