[PAR] [TLE] Enlargement of the European Union [SEP] The process of expanding the European Union (EU) through the accession of new member states began with the Inner Six, who founded the European Economic Community (the EU's predecessor) in 1958, when the Treaty of Rome came into force.  Since then, the EU's membership has grown to twenty-eight, with the latest member state being Croatia, which joined in July 2013. [PAR] [TLE] History of the European Union (1993–2004) [SEP] The history of the European Union between 1993 and 2004 was the period between its creation (replacing the European Economic Community) and the 2004 enlargement.  The European Union was created at the dawn of the post–Cold War era and saw a series of successive treaties laying the ground for the euro, foreign policy and future enlargement.  Three new member states joined the previous twelve in this period and the European Economic Area extended the reach of the EU's markets to three more.
