Europe Day: Schuman Declaration's Foundation

On May 9, 1950, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman presented his proposal for an organized Europe. Known as the "Schuman Declaration," it suggested placing French and West German coal and steel production under a common High Authority. This foundational step aimed to make war between rival nations materially impossible, paving the way for the European Coal and Steel Community and ultimately the European Union. Europe Day is celebrated annually on this date.
