Answer 2

The correct answer is Option A) To help foster peace and economic collaboration among European nations.

After the almost subsequent devastating wars of World War I and World War II, Europe's social and economic fabric has been completely destroyed.

From small countries such as Poland to larger countries such as France and UK, every country suffered greatly loosing millions of people.

After the 1945, European government started to devise a way to become of a 'club' that would encourage trade, travel and social exchanges between all European countries.

The idea was to create an excellent relationship between all countries so that a World War is never repeated.

Today, this has manifested itself in the form of a European Union and even the single currency known as the Euro.
