France, Italy, west Germany and the three Benelux countries agreed to join their coal and steel markets the main reason being the economic interdependence which make the return of war.

The EU plays an important role in the political sector of underdeveloped countries especially Africa, Asia. The EU has a very big role in world politics and these could be seen from an example which is the sending away of all the Romania immigrants in France. Despite the fact that Romania is in the European Union. After that dramatic incident the EU started losing its political credibility. Every member of the European Union has the freedom and right to move from one state to another. The EU was in disagreement with the policy change of the regime in
“Formerly, most textiles and metalworking industries had been situated in areas where water power was available and distances were small. With the growing network of railroads, coal as fuel became a real alternative to water power, and railroads provided transportation of the finished products of the mills. ”17 This happened because transporting goods have become easier with the help of railroads. The time taken to move the goods from one place to another did not take too much time anymore as it were before. The cost to transfer the goods also were lower than before.
As trains moved the good from rich resources from west to east, Railroad development boomed. Steel and oil were highly in demand. As a result of this industry, a number of businessmen earned wealth.
The Industrial Revolution, which took place from the 18th to 19th centuries, changed the way countries in Europe functioned. Before this it was a period predominantly agrarian. The industrial revolution led rural societies in Europe to become industrial and urban. Preceding the Industrial Revolution, manufacturing was often done in people’s homes, using hand tools or basic machinery. Industrialization let to a shift to powered machines and advanced tools, factorization.
The industrial revolution from 1750 to 1900 had a large impact on everyone globally. It positively transformed economies and allowed more efficient technology to come to light. Even though this revolution originated in Europe, its effects spread to many states. Lots of countries that surround Europe were forced to follow along with this sudden change to maintain the competitiveness and stability of the region. States tend to respond with new technology or industrial methods while others are against this change.
After the XVI century, Europe had a resurgence that allowed their nations to explore the world. European nations looked for how to extend its political and military power among the world. However, economic power appears as an important matter for the Empires´ maintenance and hence, trade appeared as a tool to create such Economic control. European Empires found opportunities to develop trade in Asian countries that faced instability. Developing political agreements in order to establish monopolies was the initial stage for future trade companies’ economic expansion.
Did the EU’s goal of shared peace between lots of different cultures and people work out? The European Union, also known as the EU is a supranational organization that consists of 28 different countries. The EU was made to bring together countries that were torn apart by the war and to create peace between those countries. The EU works toward shared goals and issues yet remain separate countries all the same. The benefits of being a member in the European Union does not outweigh the costs due to loss of sovereignty, social unrest and peace, economic issues, and cultural identity with the diversity of languages and cultures.
Introduction The world has had many advances and changes in history. In the time period 1750-1900, the world changed immensely, bringing in not only new inventions and technology, but also the Industrial Revolution, Europe’s Imperial Expansion and migration of many people. This time period had many developments and communications that were also carried on after 1900, which was further improved later years ages this time period. Industrialization The Industrial Revolution began in Britain, as there was accessibility for trade, population growth and a stable government.
During the 1920’s Canada’s economy prospered, since many countries recovering from the horrors and especially damages of the war, required Canadian products. Canada’s abundance in resources such as pulp, forestry, wheat and mining greatly contributed to Europe’s recovery as well as the Canadian economy. Throughout this decade, many products and resources became more available such as cars due to mass production techniques developed to meet the product demand. For instance, the vehicle ownership rate in Canada increased from 300 000 in 1918 to 1.9 million by 1929.
On one side of the coin, the Industrial Revolution came with great benefits in terms of technological and socioeconomic advancements that revolutionized human society for the better. Suddenly, goods became more available and ores like iron and coal were being worked thus causing the economy of areas that were taking advantage of these natural resources to be expanded tremendously. This is supported by the graph shown in document eight which shows the growth of British iron production over the course of the industrial revolution. It shows that in the course of half a century, the British iron output would almost triple and thus the British economy would benefit greatly. In addition, economic advancement would not be the only advancement made
The Europeans developed a new economic policy called mercantilism the nation's strength depended on its wealth. Wealthy nations had power for military and they expanded influence. For one nation to become wealthier they had to take wealth from another nation. This caused competition between nations. The European nations worked to become more self sufficient.
In Robert Marks’ “The Industrial Revolution and Its Consequences, 1750-1850” Marks goes on to describe the end of the biological old regime and the beginning of Industrial Revolution that mechanized the world. In the old regime, people’s necessities all came exclusively from the land. However, in a revolution powered by coal, surplus goods could be manufactured in industries. This allowed the population capacity of the world to increase and a different set of challenges unseen in the old regime to arise.
Throughout the twentieth century, countries were creating treaties, trade blocs and global governance institutes to promote open market and free trade. Europe’s golden age of trade with very low tariff and high economic development began mid-19th century and collapsed

The European Union is a strong force to reckon with, mainly because of the vast amount of resources it controls. The EU has put in place institutions and policy-making powers to react to or shape economic conditions on the continent. The adoption of the euro and the monetary union further impart strength to this international alliance of powerful countries. Many scholars have suggested parallels between the EU and other international organizations like the UN. They claim that these organizations will make the world converge into a state much like the European Union.
Together with the Community itself (the 'primary column '), the CFSP and JHA constitute the second and third of the 'three mainstays ' of the EU. The EU is said to stand like a sanctuary on three columns: the Community; the Common Foreign and Security Policy; and co-operation in the field of Justice and Home Affairs (recast in the 1997 Treaty of Amsterdam as Police and Judicial Co-operation in Criminal Matters). These columns are of unequal quality. The Community (basically the supranational organizations and
