Europe Day

It is the Europe Day today. This is a day to commemorate the European unity, after a declaration on such a unity by Frenchman Robert Schuman on the 9 May 1950. This was just five years after the devastating Second World War. Europe desperately needed peace and unity.

While peace was mostly preserved in Europe until around 1989 due to the terror balance between the super powers the Soviet Union and the USA, there is no doubt that peace and prosperity has also been benefited by the cooperation between European countries. I think the Europe Day is worth celebrating.
