HISTORY FEATURE

academics and politicians were invited. Perhaps the most powerful speech was made by Salvador de Madariaga, a Spanish politician and writer:

This Europe must be born. And she will, when Spaniards say ‘our Chartres’, Englishmen say ‘our Cracow’, Italians ‘our Copenhagen’ and Germans ‘our Bruges’. Then Europe will live.

But when de Madariaga spoke these words in 1947, it was already too late. Despite the fine words and emotional speeches, the Netherlands conference couldn’t save Europe – it was already divided in two. But the idea of ‘a United Europe’ didn’t die completely. A French politician, Robert Schuman, believed that the only way that France and Germany could become good neighbours again was by cooperating economically. In 1951 six countries agreed to regulate trade, prices and production of coal and steel. The experiment was a success, and in 1957 the six countries signed the Treaty of Rome and created the European Economic Community (in 1993, the EEC changed its name to the European Union). Nine more countries joined the organisation between 1973 and 1992 and another ten countries became members in 2004, followed by two more in 2007 and one more in 2013. Perhaps de Madariaga’s dream will come true one day after all.
