After the Second World War, European leaders wanted to prevent the horrors of war from happening again. They thought that by encouraging economic cooperation, countries would be less likely to engage in war against each other. The French Foreign Minister, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.euabc.com\/word\/823\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Robert Schuman<\/strong><\/a>, first proposed the idea on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.euabc.com\/word\/384\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">9 May, 1950<\/a>. From that point on, the concept of European integration began to take hold among the European leaders.<\/p>\n<p>As the European Union grew in number, and as advancement in technology made global communication easier, European leaders realized that in order to promote peace and security, the European Union must set an example for the wider world. This is why the European Union has been trying to strengthen its voice in the world.<\/p>\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/european-union\/about-eu\/history_en\">The History of the European Union<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/european-union\/about-eu\/history_fr\">FR<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources\/Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eeas.europa.eu\/eeas\/eu-world-0_en\">The European Union in the World<\/a>\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eeas.europa.eu\/node\/411273_fr\">L&#8217;Union europ\u00e9enne dans le monde <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/departments\/foreign-policy-instruments_en\">Foreign Policy<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/departments\/foreign-policy-instruments_fr\">FR<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/international-partnerships.ec.europa.eu\/policies\/european-development-policy_en#:~:text=European%20development%20policy%20fosters%20sustainable,goal%20of%20eradicating%20extreme%20poverty.\">Development<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/international-partnerships.ec.europa.eu\/policies\/european-development-policy_fr\">FR<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/departments\/trade_en\"> External Trade<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/departments\/trade_fr\">FR<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/departments\/european-neighbourhood-policy-and-enlargement-negotiations_en\">Enlargement<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/departments\/european-neighbourhood-policy-and-enlargement-negotiations_fr\">FR<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>DID YOU KNOW&#8230; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That Romania and Bulgaria, prior to joining the EU in January 2007, received together about 900 million Euros in pre-accession aid?<\/p>\n<p>Now you can go on to the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ces\/eulearning\/politics\/foreign-affairs\/activity-3-the-eus-global-partnerships\/\">third activity<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Directorate Generals (DGs) most relevant to external relations are: Development and Humanitarian Aid Enlargement External Relations External Trade The European Union has six major external relations services.
