Answer 2

it first started in 1957 :Formation

-  Treaty of Rome 25 March 1957  

-  Treaty of Maastricht 7 February 1992  

The European Union was formally established when the Maastricht Treaty came into force on 1 November 1993.[14] In 1995 Austria, Sweden and Finland joined the newly established EU. The Amsterdam Treaty, which was signed in 1997, amended the Maastricht treaty in areas such as democracy and foreign policy. Amsterdam was followed by the Treaty of Nice in 2001, which revised the Rome and Maastricht treaties to allow the EU to cope with further enlargement to the east. In 2002 euro notes and coins replaced national currencies in 12 of the member states. In 2004 ten new countries (eight of which had formerly been communist countries) joined the EU.

The EU was founded in 1957 (the Treaty of Rome) when six countries founded the EEC (European Economic Community).  It has expanded to become the world's most effecient and effective common market and now has 27 countries as members with 23 languages.

My namesake attempted to establish a European Community between 1798 and 1815 through the use of force - and failed.  Adolf attempted to establish a Greater German Empire in 1933 - 1945 and likewise failed
