A brief history of the European Union 

That trap beat is lit

Damn am I the only one here bc of school lmfao

LOL UK applied twice before it got in. Years later she opted out, haha

History is a lesson not only to learn about the past but also to learn how to solve future problems, because as they all say "History is repeating throw centuries". The past 15 years EU reminds me the era of the "Hellenic world" before the civil Peloponesian war. The Greek - cities always declared wars each other, then Persian Empire invated the Hellenic World so the major Greek-cities formed an alliance. As we all know the Greek alliance won the Persian Empire. Then the Greek-cities stoped fighting each other and started to strenth their ties, like EU. But after some years of peace, the major Greek - cities (Athens, Sparta, Thives, Corinth) wanted to take control of this Hellenic alliance. They started to insult each other, stopped helping each other and form new alliances inside the Hellenic alliance. The result was the rise up of nationalism among the Greek cities and to start the civil Peloponesian war that weaken all the Greek cities, something that ended the era of Greeks. Today we have EU which formed to bring peace in Europe. But after the entry of 10 new member states from Easten Europe, the financial and refugee crises the facts reminds me the days before the Peloponesian war.. States insults other states, major European powers trying to form alliances inside EU in order to control other states, narionalism is rising up again very fast etc etc

Treaty of maastricht was signed on 7 February 1992, not 1993!

Omg love that they show a Clip oh “hold me now” by the Thompson Twins 😍

Can I possibly use this video in an educational video that I am producing? I promise to provide accreditation.

fire beats

whats the song at like 2:15?

Really interesting I actually thought that the euro came in 1999 or 2000 but it came in 2002!! Really good!!!

name of beat?

Thank you for concise explanation!

were can i find winstons full speech? plz?

what is that guy doing at 1:02 ?

How the hell am I supposed to memorize each year with the countries that joined in My brain cells are dying😓

Bruh my school brought me here.....

The start of the video is all wrong. The Benelux Union is a politico-economic union and formal international intergovernmental cooperation of three neighboring states in western Europe: Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The name is a portmanteau formed from joining the first few letters of each country's name-Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg-and was first used to name the customs agreement that initiated the union (signed in 1944). It is now used more generally to refer to the geographic, economic, and cultural grouping of the three countries. The Benelux Union was the first. Not the treaty of Germany and France. It's probably no coincidence the EU Treaty is signed in the Netherlands and the EU headquarters is in Belgium.

really good, really liked it! anyam borogass!

I don't get why people blame the EU for Germany and France's high influence. You are aware that in any geopolitical scenario influence will always be in place, yes? Look at the UN. Are you telling me that it's not biased towards the most powerful states? At least the EU is better managed and does actually benefit member states. Even if the EU weren't in place Germany and France would still be widely influential.

Awesome! thanks!!

What about Spinelli?

So... which are the countries in the EU today?

1993 is when it all went wrong. We, the UK, should have left then.

4:08 was the most informational part of this short clip.

EU was the combined separate parts of communities and the Freedom of Movement is daft when more come to UK then leave it increasing each year and also why more want to go to UK to work in supermarkets and UK won't work in any supermarkets anywhere!

What beat is that

the remoaners must be shedding tears reminiscing about this.

Nice explanation 🙂

"Europe's nation's should be guided towards the superstate without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation". Jean Monnet one of founding fathers of European integration. Just for information and this being reason for Brexit.... Maastricht Treaty paved way for A Federal United States of Europe. It was never voted on by UK electorate.

European Union may not be perfect, but it's a step towards a brighter future for most European countries. European Union is a step towards political, social and economic consolidation of our European continent.

Please use the term "member state" instead of "country".

Respectful Prime Minister. Honour for President. My Name is Druva Noakhali Zila Bangladesh. Remember to There Community And A Briefing History of The Green European Foundation.

Everytime i try to watch clips bout the EU to remind myself how lucky i am to live in it i only found haters. I know it's your right to comment but couldn't you stick with just the anti EU clips? I mean we have no whatsoever documentary, indipendent video or anything that makes some EU propaganda. I remeber once i wanted to watch a movie bout the EU thinking that the first world economy had already released a film about the glory of the Union. Nothing. The only thing that resembled a cinematic product was a mockumentary about a failed EU. I mean wtf. Also because in general terms freedom of speech is when you hear both sides of the story and of haters we already got alot. So EU make a God damn movie!!!

My "next", and foremost 'task' - is to "raise" THE EUROPEAN FLAG!!!

I think it should be investigated if the European Union now and then is legislated with the Bible written as a story. The word immunity (Latin immunitas, freedom from obligations to the state) comes from a religious revelation from the middle ages, most likely from a pope to become lawless, and which has since been rewritten into full immunity, personal and functional immunity (legally, cannot be prosecuted for criminal act) to the kings (head of state), presidents, and prime ministers, for law decisions and actions. The political exploitation of the vital ecosystem has now led to forest death (force majeure) and how will it affect people's economy, etc.

I like

I am afraid that European Union grew too fast in 2004 and will pay one day for these. we should focused on original union that could be improved at that time instead of enlarged. Greece is an example that cost us a lot.

This is very misleading. There was no EU before 1993 ... but it has the UK "joining" the EEC in 1973. These were simply trade agreements, not a common EU. I was in the Netherlands in 1990, specifically to study the possibility of an EEC, which latter became the EU. This is freaking Orwellian.

Online school check

I thought the euro was created in 1999? hmmm

1973 together with Ireland

hello please help our montagnard

Thanks

Shame it didnt just stick to trade.

A very innocent view of a very toxic arrangement, They missed out the bit about Kelergi and the links to globalism.

I hope that the great North American nations of Mexico the USA and Canada can unite to form a basic union. Let us unite! Together we are strong.

Oi! Teacher!!! Leave us kids alone!!! ..... Your Hip-hop track is wack..! D...D...D...D...Don't....Don't..........Don't....Don't...D...D...D...D...Don't....Don't...... DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!! 'n'ahmsay'n? Respect others. Learn from others. Help others. Think fo' yo'self!!! VOTE LEAVE Peace!

Try the real politik version. France knew it would always lose to Germany - militarily and economically - and came up with a method of riding on their coat tails.

This didn't age very well...

"It still works for the good of the people" Trying to imply it already does, propaganda. "Even after being denied 2 times we got to join the EU" Implyign that it's some great victory for giving the UK the priveledge to join propaganda. Kept saying most when discussing positive stuff about the EU, but when there is people against the EU always only said some. Propaganda. Need i say more.

Guess what, UK IS OUT

Seconde 7 likez mon com

Did we not join the common market not the EU fucked over again .

A MISTAKE

Britains greatest mistake was to join this cabal
