In 1957 there was no European Union. Instead, it was called the European Economic Community (which later transformed into the European Union). It had six founding members: Italy, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, and West Germany. The United Kingdom was offered to be a founding member, but refused. Denmark, Ireland, and the UK later joined in 1973, Greece was added in 1981, and Spain and Portugal both joined in 1986. West and East Germany later reunified in 1990, three years before the EEC would be engulfed by the EU.

What effect did the forming of the European Union have on the countries of Europe?
The formation of the European Union, known then as the European Coal and Steel Community, was an attempt for everlasting peace in Europe. This continent had undergone two immensely deadly world wars in just three decades. Both these wars had a large influence by the German-French tensions, as these countries were great enemies ever since the Franco-Prussian War. After WWII ended, France attempted to economically conjoin its country with Germany in order to make another war impossible. The European Coal and Steel Community was formed, and although intended for just France and Germany, four additional countries wanted in on the deal: Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. Thus, the first supranational organization had been created. The ECSC quickly grew in power, as it focused on economics as many European countries were demilitarized by either force or choice due to WWII. The ECSC saw its first enlargement two decades after its creation, where Denmark, Ireland, and the United Kingdom joined (the UK was offered to join upon the establishment of the organization, but refused). Its second enlargement came a decade later, where only Greece joined. Just five years later, its third enlargement came about, where Portugal and Spain joined. The fourth enlargement came a decade later with the admittance of Austria, Finland, and Sweden. It's fifth enlargement, and largest to date, came a decade later, where Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia joined. Bulgaria and Romania are also included in this enlargement agenda, but the two countries joined three years later. Its sixth enlargement is undergo, where Croatia will join this year, 2013, six years after the largest enlargement. The European Union has led to an interconnected, advanced, united European economy. It has led to many developments towards working towards unity, such as a free-travel policy (essentially visa-free travel), a universal currency (the Euro), free-trade, etc. The European Union is the world's largest economic power, and will most likely fuse into one nation someday. It is considered a potential superpower right alongside China, despite some already referring to it as a superpower.

When did the eec become the eu?
When the EEC (European Econmic Community) was first established it was as a trading bloc to help commerce develop between the countries of Western Europe. Gradually the people that ran it, with the connivance of politicians, arranged for it to develop into a political union (a sort of United States of Europe). A new name was obviously needed if the populations of the countries concerned were not to be constantly reminded of what they originally agreed to and so it was that the new name of European Union came about.
