dec 25, 1957 - European Economic Community
Description:
Also known as the common market, this treaty between western European powers allowed for enough industrial production to nearly overtake the US by the '70's. Eventually, more places joined this union, eventually having it be renamed the European Union, or EU, in 1993.Citation: https://image.slidesharecdn.com/eu-hs-141114044219-conversion-gate02/95/formation-of-european-union-till-treaty-of-rome-1951-1957-15-638.jpg?cb=1416063405
