[QUOTE="SimplyMe, post: 76883503, member: 9588"] This isn't really true. Sure, it was one of the aims but the start of the European Union started as an economic union -- in fact, the European Coal and Steel Community (1951) is credited with being the original origin of the EU. That expanded into more economic agreements between states, the European Economic Community (1957). The EU wasn't started to "prevent war" as they already had the North American Treaty Organization which prevented war between the early EC member states -- all six of the founding members were part of NATO -- particularly since the fear of war came predominately from the Soviet Union. Additionally, Russia would never agree to become part of the EU, giving up a portion of their national sovereignty to the European Parliament and some of their policies -- which was a major reason for the UK leaving the EU.
