Fifty years after the signing of the Treaties of Rome, the European
Union (EU) stands at a crossroads. It has all but completed its
single market, has enlarged to twenty-seven member states, has
introduced a single currency, is making progress on a common
foreign and defence policy, has flirted with the adoption of a
constitution and more. The European Community of six member states
that at first merely collaborated on coal and steel, atomic energy
and that created a customs union in the 1950s and 1960s, has
progressed beyond belief so as to achieve these remarkable
successes.The origins of the EU can be traced back to belligerent
parties that decided it was best to leave their militaristic past
behind and concentrate on creating something more positive and
constructive. France and Germany had gone to war three times in a
hundred years and felt the need to leave the past behind. It was
clear that it was not only the decisions of the governments of
France and Germany that made this new pacifism in Western Europe
possible. Other countries played an important role as well.
