After World Wars Europe has been very coherent. European Union and same currency nowadays makes Europe one big area. Of course countries can have their own opinions but generally countries has this same alignment with desicions. After Soviet Union broked down in 1991 (www.coldwar.org). European Union has started to expand more Eastern way of Europe. Taking new parties to EU has been challenging, because some countries are still very undeveloped and they have lots of work to get in same level as other European countries.

One threat to Europe is also Russia, who just overpowered Crimea and took it back to Russia. This caused lots of drama all over the world and nobody can not know how this situation is going to continue.
