The Evolution of Peace: Understanding the European Union's Journey and Impact

Explore the transformative history of the European Union (EU), from its post-World War II origins to its current role as a unifying force in Europe. Learn about key milestones such as the Schuman Declaration, the establishment of the European Coal and Steel Community, and the evolution from 6 to 28 member states. Analyze the significance of the EU's commitment to peace, democracy, and human rights, which earned it the Nobel Peace Prize in 2012. Reflect on whether similar models could be applied in other regions, such as Asia.
