In my first
post, I am going to create a time line of the forming of the European union.
1945 - End of World War II
4 April 1949 - The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is created as a mutual defence pact. So, if one of the
countries in NATO is attacked the
other NATO countries will come to its defence.
1951- The treaty of
Paris was signed by Belgium,
France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. To create The European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in the hope
to unify Weston Europe after World War II
1961 to 1963- In 1961 Britain Denmark and Ireland apply to join the EEC. In
1963 French President Charles de Gaulle vetoes British membership.
1973- Britain successfully join the
European Community
1987- The Single European Act enters into
force. The aim to create a European Union comes
closer in to bean.
4 April 1949 - The USA, Canada, Britain, France,
Iceland, Italy, Norway and
Portugal. signed The Washington Treaty making it easier to trade between America and Europe.
1993- The Treaty on European Union comes
into effect. Now it’s easier for European citizens to live and work in any other
European Union country.
2002- National currencies replaced by euro
notes and coins, the UK opts out.
June 2016- The UK votes to leave the European
Union
