In these moments of anxiety due to a virus that has turned the planet upside down, we see that the European Union does not work . This Union is currently made up of 27 countries after the withdrawal of the United Kingdom, but from various points of view - some historical - it is based on three groups of nations: those that are part of northern Europe , with Germany at the head due to its weight demographic and economic, by another group that we could call Mediterranean, where France, Italy and Spain stand out for the same reasons as Germany in the first , and by a third group of Eastern countries that lived part of their 20th century under the boot of the former USSR.
The current EU is a heterogeneous group of countries, ranging from the Irish Celtics to the Maltese Mediterraneans, from the Swedish Vikings to the Atlantic Canary Islands, not to mention the Iraq Telegram Number Data EU's overseas territories, such as French Guiana . the Portuguese Azores and Madeira or the Canaries of Spain. This EU in turn comes from the European Economic Community thanks to the Treaty of Rome, signed in 1957. It is interesting to note that the founding treaty was signed in Rome (Italy) and that one of the fathers - the main one without a doubt - is Robert Schuman , French, although with several nationalities. There were then other supranational European institutions that later disappeared precisely because of the confluence of interests - very disparate as we are seeing - in the EU.
There were two original drives: the need to forge a supranational State that could compete economically on equal terms with the USA and the USSR and, above all, to avoid the long-standing historical confrontation between Germany and France and, thereby, prevent The Teutons were once again a danger to Europeans. The history of modern Europe could be summarized as the history of the confrontation between Spain and England for the domination of the seas in the 16th and 17th centuries and the confrontation between Germany and France for the domination of Europe itself. That is now history because now the domination of the planet is in the cards of the USA and China, but more through the economy than the military.
