Europe had seen two world wars within a generation with much resultant suffering and destruction. There must have been an urgency therefore to stop a third from happening on the continent by creating a pan national entity that binds many nations together.</p> <p>Perhaps the thought was that if one nation desires to start a campaign of aggression against another – if the cost of the aggression would hit home very quickly because of mutual economic dependence then the desire for such an aggression would quickly fizzle out in the home nation.</p>
