International Fund for Agricultural Development
The International Fund for Agricultural Development, a specialized agency of the United Nations, was established as an international financial institution in 1977 as one of the major outcomes of the 1974 World Food Conference. The conference was organized in response to the food crises of the early 1970s that primarily affected the Sahelian countries of Africa. It resolved that "an International Fund for Agricultural Development should be established immediately to finance agricultural development projects primarily for food production in the developing countries." One of the most important insights emerging from the conference was that the causes of food insecurity and famine were not so much failures in food production but structural problems relating to poverty, and to the fact that the majority of the developing world’s poor populations were concentrated in rural areas.

Alliance set up under the Warsaw Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, a mutual defence treaty signed in 1955 by Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union.

Initiated as an alliance propelled by the remilitarization of West Germany under the Paris Pacts of 1954, the Treaty was designed to lapse in the event of a general European collective security treaty. A unified military command, with headquarters in Moscow, directed the united forces, which included Soviet divisions stationed in some of the member nations prior to the signing of the Treaty. The 1989 collapse of the Communist Governments in Eastern Europe made the treaty superfluous. The Warsaw Treaty Organization dissolved in 1 July 1991.

International Fund for Agricultural Development
The International Fund for Agricultural Development, a specialized agency of the United Nations, was established as an international financial institution in 1977 as one of the major outcomes of the 1974 World Food Conference. The conference was organized in response to the food crises of the early 1970s that primarily affected the Sahelian countries of Africa. It resolved that "an International Fund for Agricultural Development should be established immediately to finance agricultural development projects primarily for food production in the developing countries." One of the most important insights emerging from the conference was that the causes of food insecurity and famine were not so much failures in food production but structural problems relating to poverty, and to the fact that the majority of the developing world’s poor populations were concentrated in rural areas.

Alliance set up under the Warsaw Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, a mutual defence treaty signed in 1955 by Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union. The organization was the Soviet bloc’s equivalent of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Initiated as an alliance propelled by the remilitarization of West Germany under the Paris Pacts of 1954, the Treaty was designed to lapse in the event of a general European collective security treaty. A unified military command, with headquarters in Moscow, directed the united forces, which included Soviet divisions stationed in some of the member nations prior to the signing of the Treaty. The 1989 collapse of the Communist Governments in Eastern Europe made the treaty superfluous. The Warsaw Treaty Organization dissolved in 1 July 1991.
