Europe United Equals Europe Divided: Part I. A Troubled Legacy

Europe's deep tendencies towards nationalism and empire, a single European state would lead to more turmoil than it would solve. Is the potential of that great sacrifice truly worth it in the end? Is there not a way for European states to co-operate, coordinate policies, and organize a reasonably stable coalition without complete unification?

Any such conclusions made in great haste will only unravel multilateral collaboration and speed the forcible sacrifice of state sovereignty.
