Abstract
The story of Europe is still being written. The entrance of new countries, ten in 2004, two others in 2007, and the current question of opening Europe to Turkey, shows that the European Union is continuously evolving. From 1947 to 1989, the liberalist doctrine has been adopted by the Western part of Europe, in opposition to the Eastern with its communist ideals. The countries from Western Europe, supported by the United States, started to gather together in institutional organizations, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1948, and above all the beginning of the European Community in 1957 with the Rome Treaty. Started with six countries, the European construction happened step by step. Nine countries in 1973, ten in 1981, twelve in 1986, fifteen in 1995, the Union, which used to include only Western and liberal countries, started to include ex-USSR countries to organization.
