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.
The European Union is sometimes used to represent Europe as a whole.
History
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.
