according to winston churchill, the european union started originally to answer what call?
call for a "united states of europe"
apart from the ideas of federation, confederation, or customs union such as winston churchill's 1946 call for a "united states of europe", the original development of the european union was based on a supranational foundation that would "make war unthinkable and materially impossible" and reinforce democracy amongst its members as laid out by robert schuman and other leaders in the schuman declaration (1950) and the europe declaration (1951). this principle was at the heart of the european coal and steel community (ecsc) (1951), the treaty of paris (1951), and later the treaty of rome (1958) which established the european economic community (eec) and the european atomic energy community (eaec). the ecsc expired in 2002, while the eaec maintains a distinct legal identity despite sharing members and institutions.
