you may not think so but after WW2 the USA decided that France would be administrative and South Germany would be European production capital. Then the coal and steel oligarchs with the help of USA founded the ECSC. The US controlled european finance until the end of Brent Woods and afterwards Europe has never been able to manage its own money because that was never the goal. The goal was single market yet there's no fiscal union.
Tu reves tout haut , l’union européenne avec ou sans les usa aurait existe , pense a De Gaulle qui a dit aux américains de partir de France et ils ont exécuté en fermant leurs gueules
France wanted to completely destroy German industry so it can never rebuild. You guys have no clue. You forgot the Marshall plan so quickly. Credit to Europeans: you’re great at killing and ruining each other.
