When did each country join NATO? – POLITICO

On the count of three … Skål!

Sweden has finally made it into NATO.

The Nordic country has become the 32nd to join since the military alliance was founded in 1949. Rabble-rouser-in-chief Donald Trump may have called NATO’s role into question, but across the Atlantic many Europeans see beefing up the bloc as the key to cowing belligerent Russian President Vladimir Putin.

With only Finland buffering it from Russian aggression, it’s clear why Sweden wanted to become part of NATO at this juncture. But do you know when the other 31 members joined?

Take our quiz to test your knowledge. Warning: It’s harder than you think.
