European” without further considerationTurkey has been left waiting since 1986 but negotiations
have slowly progressed

War Trauma- European institutions created in the aftermath of WWI (1914-
1918) & WWII (1939-1945), which were fought disproportionately in Europe
- Millions of Britons, French, Germans, Italians and others died, making up over 3% of their total populations (cf. 1.38% of Australian pop. who perished in WWI)
German dead at the Battle of the Somme, 1916
Ruins of Warsaw, 1945

The case for the modern UnionNow that fear of war is increasingly a distant
memory…
“A strong Europe in a globalised world”- Possible to compete with other economic giants (USA
/ Japan / China…)- Coordinating foreign policies to recover lost influence- More coherent to tackle terrorism and organized
crime- Defend certain values: rule of law, human rights,
peace

The European Union: Still debated2005: The “Constitutional crisis”- “NO” from France and the Netherlands on a referendum

but also- Too many war capabilities, too many state-like symbols,
too much without explaining why…

The Eurozone Crisis: In most European countries during the 2000s, it was
easy to borrow money to finance spending that would then generate an easy growth
For instance, the euro brought historically very low interest rates to Ireland and Spain, generating a consumer-driven property bubble
Greece had even cooked the books to enter the Eurozone to benefit from low interest rates for its own government bonds
![Page 59: Outreach presentation by the THE EUROPEAN UNION Unless otherwise specified, all images and icons in this presentation are publicly available from commons.wikimedia.org.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649ddf5503460f94ad982f/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
The Eurozone Crisis Bursting of a property bubble in the US led to
Global Financial Crisis banks collapsed, growth slowed Interest rates skyrocketed for all but a few very solid and/or trusted economiesIreland and Spain had surpluses; but when their
property bubbles burst, governments rescued banks, acquiring expensive-to-finance debt
Greece, Italy and Portugal already had a lot of debt and their rates skyrocketed
UK also high debt and was in recession, but has one of longest track records in bond repayments
Vicious circle: the less money available to countries/companies, the less it could be pumped into the economy (as opposed to debt repayments, etc.)
