EU will remain in "pre-Federation" stage for centuries, since, unlike USA it is composed of many nations, with language barriers, and historical grudges against each other. It might become temporarily united by force (that's what EU Commission, and Germany are trying to do right now), but that won't last even a decade.
- galangalalgol 3y agoWhile they lacked language barriers, the differences in who founded the original colonies led to large cultural differences that could be considered nation defining. This was amplified by available resources and extraction strategies and eventually contributed to the civil war. The differences within the EU are certainly much broader, but power draws power, and I wouldn't count out a much more centralized EU in the future, even if that is not beneficial for or desired by any of its members.
