• In the aftermath of the WWII the European Union's founding fathers wanted to find ways to prevent future wars.
• On May 9, 1950, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman announced a plan for controlling European coal & steel, vital resources for waging war. This was the first step toward achieving a united Europe.
• May 9—Europe Day—is celebrated each year as the birth of today's European Union.

While contributing to postwar economic recovery, this plan
would also control the raw materials of war. The
