What is the EU?

The EU (European Union) is an association/union/organization formed in the means of keeping peace.

Currently, there is a number of 27 countries part of it!

The EU was formed back in 1952 (ECSC) after World War II. Everyone just decided that history should not repeat itself. The idea came from France, and at first it was to build trust between Germany and France. They thought it would be a great way to join forces, help each other out while also keeping an eye out.

Currently, the EU serves the purpose of :

-Expanding the economy and trade market

-Keeping peace between countries and holding off wars

-Making intercultural communication (telecommunication)and travelling easier (prices and freedom of movement without passports or border control)

-Health insurance all around the world, be safe!

-Protecting the environment together and clean water

-Many more!
