The History OF THE EU

In the aftermath of the WWII the European Union's founding fathers wanted to find ways to prevent future wars. On May 9, 1950, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman announced a plan for controlling European coal & steel, vital resources for waging war. This was the first step toward achieving a united Europe. May 9—Europe Day—is celebrated each year as the birth of today's European Union. The Beginning

 While contributing to postwar economic recovery, this plan would also control the raw materials of war. The Schuman Declaration was regarded as the first step toward achieving a united Europe—an ideal that in the past had been pursued only by force.Schuman Declaration May 9 Europe Day
