The plain laid foundations for the 1958 establishment of the European Economic Community after the proposal were realized in the European Coal and Steel Community. The Schuman Declaration of May 1950 was a legal proposal to create a new form of organization of states in Europe called supranational community. After the Second World War, a conflict that had nearly destroyed the continent

During 1946, Winston Churchill the former British Prime Minister, gave a speech calling for a “We must build a kind of United States of Europe” which gave an enormous impact and gave “important credibility to the federalist movements, despite the

World War I, there was strong European sentiment to prevent such a war from unfolding again, particularly due to the newfound fear associated with nuclear weapons and the extensive civilian toll the war caused. The chief problem with creating benevolent relations between nations was reconciling France and Germany. To ensure Germany could never threaten Europe again, Europe instituted the Monnet Plan, which dismantled German heavy industry and stripped Germany of its coal-producing regions. Germany was

These three economic systems make up The European Community. The European Community has given Europe one of the most thriving economies to this day.1 “The United States of Europe” was the first of many attempts at a stable economic system before the creation of The European Community.1 The next experimental economic system was a Council of Europe. Ten delegates

What would become the European Union developed out of a need to negate the war-making potential of European powers, namely Germany as well as to foster economic recovery in countries whose economies were all but destroyed. It was thought that tying the main armaments-making resources, coal and steel, together in a supernational organisation responsible for its management would serve both roles. It has been developing since 1951 and keeps evolving. What one sees as a transformation from something

It was about sharing European resources in a supranational union. on April 1951 the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was instituted. It combined coal and steel resources of France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands, and it reduced the chance of war betwwen France and West Germany. During the Paris Treaty, the six states stateded that this date symbolized the birth of Europe. The ECSC became reality in 1952, and was the first step in relation to European integration. After

A solitary discretionary statute was determined in the settlement for Europe's first group of coal and steel in 1951. Common society (to a great extent non-political) was to have its own chosen chamber in the Consultative Committees particular to every Community as fairly concurred, however the procedure was solidified (similar to Europe's parliamentary

There were not only two World Wars but the establishment of different organizations that have been contributing to the political, economic and social life of different states. Such organizations like NATO and UN integrated countries. But the most successful “project” is the creation of the European Union. But what is actually

“Integration is a dynamic process, driven by a variety of forces and actors that, through their interactions, build and shape the institutional structure of the European Union.” This emergent political order was not an overnight, linear growth process but rather a “stop-go” system built on the steady development of a new political system with intergovernmental and supranational institutions and complex decision-making techniques. Fostered off the shared foundation for peace and unity, key integration

Germany united as well. In response to all of the violent nationalistic movements the idea of integration was born. Integration is the combination of two or more things to form a whole. In this case integration is the bringing together of all of the European countries as one. The nationalistic causes of the world wars had devastated
