The European Federation was essentially a dream for quite a long time in which multiple speeches were given over the years with greater rising of this eventuality of a Federal Europe. The Final movement toward this happened in 1946 when Winston Churchill gave a famous speech in Zurich which became the Foundations of the movement which continued to develop for almost another 40 years before coming to fruition as a more Economic Union rather than full Federalized government which in turn evolved into a Central government almost in disguise.

| - The European Federation was essentially a dream for quite a long time in which multiple speeches were given over the years with greater rising of this eventuality of a Federal Europe. The Final movement toward this happened in 1946 when Winston Churchill gave a famous speech in Zurich which became the Foundations of the movement which continued to develop for almost another 40 years before coming to fruition as a more Economic Union rather than full Federalized government which in turn evolved into a Central government almost in disguise. The first steps toward a semi-unified Europe came over a decade later with the founding of the European common market, which included various nations in an attempt to create a versatile and stable common market between the various European nations. The West Germans and French became more involved over the years but suffered an issue in the 1960's when French President Charles De Gaulle began to withdraw in order to restore French interests in areas which ended in the Luxembourg compromise which restored Veto in areas of national interests. This died off following De Gaulle's presidency the French nations began to become more compliant with Supernationalism at behest of West Germany and various other nations which had begun to become more in tune with a united common market. By the 1970's the European community had expanded to include Great Britain (economically speaking) and had managed to stave off US influence outside of Regular economical and NATO influences. By this point Germany was playing a game of Brinkmanship with East Germany and had conducted multiple flyovers over East Germany violating air space agreements keeping the East German government at the point of a nervous collapse every time West Germany moved troops or conducted drills. Finally with the Soviet government losing faith in their East German ally the West Germans were able to garner significant influence through intelligence and secret agencies and began to subvert Soviet influence in East Germany while also writing up the European Federal treaty of 1979. The European Federal Treaty proposed the gradual Formation of a European Union, and with a Soviet Union looming more than ever many nations were pressured to agree to the Franco-German led treaty. By 1984 the Treaty was beginning to come into full force with more nations looking to join what was looking to be a promising community which now had the support of Norway, and Sweden to a lesser degree, full integration with Greece, and was now including nations such as Spain just weeks before the full force of the Treaty going into full effect. Finally in August of 1986 the European Federation was created with Supernationalist policies surpassing nationalist ones for the past decade and major movements that popularized candidates rather than nationalities. The EF, however, still had the challenge of fully reuniting Germany. This was accomplished by January of 1987 as East Germany suffered a massive revolution which wished to re-join West Germany and become part of the Federation. The East-German revolution continued on for months as revolutionaries essentially secured most control of the country in the opening weeks but eventually ended up fighting against the Soviet garrisons. However, when the European Federation threatened to intervene in force, the Soviets seeing their disadvantageous position began to re-establish the Iron Curtain on the Polish border and renounced their alliance with former Communist East Germany. This was increasingly surprising for the world but the economical issues of the Soviet union ended up being the true cause behind this as the Americans had essentially been Spending the USSR into the ground.
