I seriously doubt that our years of peace have nothing to do with the EU.

But recently we have indeed been nothing more then a pawn of the more powerful, and this is the precise reason why there should be a unified Europe.
If we want any part at all in future world politics we need to unite and fast!
Even our larger nations Like Britain,France,Germany,... would have little or no authority if they choose to speak with an isolated voice and/or army.

Also fellow Europeans, don’t worry too much about immigration, taxes, or loosing your identity when uniting.
Much of these problems are blown way out of proportion and could ironically enough only improve with an unified Europe.
