Real World Example

The European Community (EC) was a group of European countries that banded together to promote economic cooperation and prevent further conflicts after World War II. During the Cold War, it aimed to encourage unity among Western European nations against the spread of communism from the Soviet Union. This cooperation helped stabilize economies and foster peace by making war between member countries less likely. Today, the EC's legacy continues through the European Union (EU), which influences trade, travel, and regulations that affect millions, including easier travel and work opportunities across Europe. For example, a student in France can study in Germany without needing a special visa, benefiting from shared educational resources.
