It wouldn't work. There are no third world economies involved in the Euro. Canada and Mexico and the US have economies that are far too dissimilar. It would be like trying to drive a car when the wheels were all different sizes.Even in Europe, where the deal was based on Government debt of no more than 3% of GDP, they have had to move the goalposts because France and Germany couldn't make it.

It is and often without even asking he consent of the Europeans when it enlarges. \nNot only, but the centralized governmental control doesn't work at all. \nNot to mention the Euro, which has caused thousands of families to end up on the edge of starvation.\nIn actual fact Europe is not working in any field.\n\nThe nations that are performing better are only those that remained outside the Euro Zone, UK being the first of them all. \n\nThen there is uncontrolled immigration from non EU countries, which is intaking millions of starved people inside EU, whose costs will eventually increase taxes on EU citizens.\nNot to mention the total lack of control on immigration from the poorest EU countries towards the richest ones, which is causing other problems. \n\nEurope to date has been a failure, in all terms!

After the unification of Germany in 1871, Germans enjoyed some of the perks of stronger well establish counties such that of France and Britain. So more then likely it was based on the new abundance of land.

We had no choice. In 1975 we voted to join the Common Market with Europe, not a common government, which is what has gradually happened. Our current government has allowed this, and has split the country up, without asking the electorate first, into 12 regions, per the EU's Regions of Europe plan.\n\nWe're too far integrated into the union to leave now though. Such a move could collapse the economy. We need the EU now, and they need us. We didn't do too badly before it. However, the majority are against it. Consequently, the British government won't hold a referendum on it, even though many times they've scheduled dates for a national vote on whether we should join the single currency, which have all been postponed, because they know they'd be defeated.\n\nRegularly, laws are being applied to the UK and other countries, from Brussels, the seat of the EU government. But a big issue currently is companies making crazy cost-cuts by outsourcing to other countries, which is affecting the economy, reducing it to a services-based economy, with very few manufacturing industries left.\n\nBut the EU has big problems; currently a corrupt, bottomless pit where money mysteriously disappears on a regular basis. As it stands, It's too big to be unified as a single European state, and is already straining under its own weight from the immense bureaucracy, red tape and a myriad of languages to translate its documents into.\n\nAs for the Pound, the fight is on to save the 1300-year-old currency. A few other countries of Europe are fighting to retain their national currencies too. So far, it's just a minority that supports joining the single currency. It seems very much as if the EU, with the help of its pro-Euro camp in Britain, is trying to weaken the Pound to a point where one day accept we'll have to accept the Euro, which may eventually be stronger. It's already begun; UK-based companies find it more expensive trading from here with other countries because of the extra fees incurred changing Pounds to Euros. As soon as the two currencies are harmonised, it's we'll likely join. If we'd joined earlier, maybe companies wouldn't have moved to Euro countries, production to China or call centres to India.\n\nBut if we don't decide on it soon, there might not be many companies of worth left in this country, as the most profitable ones will have moved somewhere cheaper.

Oh yes the Euro the currency of the European union has more then doubled in value since its creation making it the second most valuable money on Earth after the Enlgish pound more valuable then the US dollar!.  Socially EU people can cross the board with no checks or stops allowing people to mix easier and travel to new places where jobs and lessiure is, especial the new former USSR satellite countries.  It'll be a snowball effect everyone will want to join and it will make the EU that much stronger.

The European Union (EU) is an intergovernmental and supranational union of 25 democratic member states from the European continent. The European Union was established under that name in 1992 by the Treaty on European Union (the Maastricht Treaty). However, many aspects of the Union existed before that date through a series of predecessor relationships, dating back to 1951. [1]\n\nThe Union nowadays has a common single market consisting of a customs union, a single currency managed by the European Central Bank (so far adopted by 12 of the 25 member states), a Common Agricultural Policy, a common trade policy, and a Common Fisheries Policy.[2] A Common Foreign and Security Policy was also established as the second of the three pillars of the European Union. The Schengen Agreement abolished passport control, and customs checks were also abolished at many of the EU's internal borders, creating a single space of mobility for EU citizens to live, travel, work and invest. [3]\n\nThe most important EU institutions include the Council of the European Union, the European Commission, the European Court of Justice, the European Central Bank and the European Parliament. The European Parliament's origins go back to the 1950s and the founding treaties, and since 1979 its members have been directly elected by the people they represent. Elections are held every five years, and every EU citizen who is registered as a voter is entitled to vote.\n\nThe European Union's activities cover all areas of public policy, from health and economic policy to foreign affairs and defence. However, the extent of its powers differs greatly between areas. Depending on the area in question, the EU may therefore resemble a federation (e.g. on monetary affairs, agricultural, trade and environmental policy, economic and social policy), a confederation (e.g. on home affairs) or an international organisation (e.g. in foreign affairs).

If you're talking real money, then probably not, considering that Germany is now on the EU system.\n\nIf you're talking collector value, then you definitely have a great find.

No, I´ve never believed in the future of European Union.\nReasons:\n* there are far too many countries in the E.U.\n* these countries are very different (history, values, rich/poor) - so it is very difficult to find compromises\n* every country wants to keep its identity \n* why no common constitution? people in e.g. Slovakia have different needs, problems, et cetera as people e.g. in England\n* people in western europe think the criminality would increase by taking countries like Bulgaria (where even the police drives with stolen cars)\n* people are afraid of taking a country like Turkey into the E.U. (very large country, very many people, very many poor people - richer countries would pay more, borders to countries like Iraq, Iran)\n* farmers in Middle European countries will "die out", because the prizes for agricultural goods decrease (competition with "cheap" countries in Eastern Europe)\n* there are countries which have to "pay" and countries which "get" money. People in the paying countries don´t understand why the should pay for another country

As a non American or European,\nI feel EU has a long way to go in terms of the "U". Besides, at the end of the day, Europe united or not will always side up with the US on the really important issues. And unlike the other superpower contenders, Europe shares most of the American values - and actually makes them work better in most cases.

no, it would be a terrible idea, even though the euro is doing good despite the fact that some of the nations that joined had poor economies, the majority of the economies that joined were well standing by themselves.  If we made a world currency than we would have to take into account the poor economies that would join (i.e. africa, mexico, most of south america etc..) \nwhich would drag down the value of the global currency and hurt everyone in the end.

Mexico, and ultimately the United States (we got land later) benefited. Spain lost out.

Absolutely. The land belongs to the descendants of deceased persons. The Turkish army does allow owner to enjoy their property. That is why 1000's of people suit Turkey in European Court of Human Rights. Titina Loizidou was the first to win the case and the court not only order Turkey to return the property but also to cover her expenses from not enjoying her property. Turkey is trying to avoid implimentation of the court order but eventually they will have to obey.

The same thing certain states had to lose by joining the Union. Wealthier members (Western Europe: Germany, England, France) lose some of their money. The would have to share some of their surplus with less wealthy members (Eastern Europe: Ukraine, Latvia, Bulgaria).\n\nMore traditional members (Eastern Europe) would lose some of their traditional values because they would be under pressure from the more Western countries to modernize.\n\nThe biggest benefit to the EU is the larger population. The larger population means a larger work force and a larger economy. This larger economy would be more capable of competing in the global economy with large countries such as the US and China.

In 1929 Germany couldn't pay the high reparation costs to France that had been decided in the Treaty of Versailles. So France invaded the Ruhr area of Germany, where there was lots of industry, and diverted all of the profits of this area to France.\n\nBecause this meant there was now very little money in Germany, the Weimar Government (of Germany) printed lots of extra money. This resulted in 'hyperinflation' (where there is so much money that it becomes worthless) and meant that people lost all their savings overnight and went bankrupt.\nThis website explains it very clearly:
