The beginnings of the EU

The organisation which led to the creation of the European Union was originally founded by 6 countries and at the time was called The European Coal and Steel Community. It was established by "The Treaty of Paris", which was signed by West Germany, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands on April 18^th 1951 and acted as a pioneer for the European supranationalism. The intention was to unify the war-torn Europe, after the Second World War had demolished the countries landscape and economy. By creating a common market for coal and steel, including Germany, one of the leading steel producers, the founding nations hoped to bring unification to the countries competing for resources. To write down all the facts about the ECSC, more than 180 words would be needed. To sum up, the ECSC wanted to secure the rejuvenation of the European economy, secure peace between the member states, improve the world’s economy by adding a giant construct like the EU to it, and as mentioned before bring forward the concept of a united Europe, which would stand against difficulties as a union.
