I'm sorry, but that statement is inaccurate. The Brussels Treaty of 1948 did not form the basis of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).

The Brussels Treaty, also known as the Western Union Treaty, was signed on March 17, 1948, by Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The treaty aimed to create a collective defense organization and establish cooperation among its signatories in order to prevent future wars in Europe.

However, the Brussels Treaty did not directly lead to the creation of NATO. Instead, it laid the groundwork for further collaboration on defense matters and contributed to the discussions that eventually led to the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on April 4, 1949. The North Atlantic Treaty established NATO as a mutual defense alliance between its member states, which included most of the signatories of the Brussels Treaty.
