European Union
“
Europe as a political entity will either be united, or will not be at all.
— Donald Tusk
The European Union, often shortened as the EU, is an economic and political union between multiple European states, established by Germany and
France in 1993. He have his own currency, called the
Euro.
Combined, he has the second-largest economy behind USA
(of course) and has the largest single market in the world. He is a member of G20 and is sometimes even being described as a (potential) superpower. With many of his major achievements, he is seen as an inspiration for other supernational unions such as
ASEAN (not really,
ASEAN formed earlier),
African Union, and
Vodka Union.
The European Union is sometimes used to represent Europe as a whole.
History[edit | edit source]
After WWII, European integration was seen as an antidote to the extreme nationalism which had devastated the continent. 1952 saw the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community, which was declared to be a first step in the federation of Europe.
In 1957, the founding members signed the Treaty of Rome, which created the
European Economic Community and established a customs union.
They also signed another pact creating the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) for cooperation in developing nuclear energy.
EEC and
Euratom were created separately from
ECSC, although they shared the same courts and the
Common Assembly. In 1965 an agreement was reached and on 1 July 1967, the Merger Treaty created a single set of institutions for the three communities, which were collectively referred to as the European Communities.
Recently, EU is going though a series of crises, like the Syrian refugees,
Brexit,
Eurozone, and the War in
Donbas
, a military intervention between
Russia and
Ukraine.
