When the Second World War ended last century, Europe’s leaders decided to work together to resolve their problems. They wanted to put an end to fighting once and for all, so that people could rebuild their lives and create new and better ways to support themselves and each other.
One way to do this, the leaders thought , was to control how much coal and steel each country could receive. This was important because coal was needed to power the factories which made all the things that people needed, including steel for machines, houses, roads and buildings. Coal and steel are also necessary when producing war machines like guns and tanks, so with these countries all deciding together what to do with Europe’s coal and steel, no single nation could build these weapons without the other nations knowing about it.
The leaders also hoped that the countries which depended on each other like this would have no reason to fight because the economy would be stronger across the region and people would have good jobs, food and security. And do you know what? They were right. Over 50 years have passed and Europe’s wars are now things you read in your history books.
The EU has come a long way. There are now 28 Member States in the European Union. It’s a bit like in a school class. As in a good community, the stronger ones help the weaker ones. And as in a class where some children like maths and others prefer music, some EU countries have interests that are different to others. To live together peacefully, everybody must accept everybody else as they are. Each country lives according to its own traditions, language and culture. This approach is summed up nicely in the EU’s motto: ‘United in diversity’.
