- mrtksn 3y agoThat was long ago. Europe's latest great war was like 80 years ago, the standardisation and free movement through EU and Schengen are even fresher. The language barriers aren't even lifted yet, though the young seems to be quite good with adopting English as lingua franca. Yet, most of the Europeans can't talk to each other because the older generations in general will speak the language of their neighbour only and that will be around the border regions. Some smaller countries are better though. "European" as an identity is a rough diamond still.
