How has Europe developed as both individual nations and as a group?

Europe has developed greatly over the years in many ways. It was problems
between different groups that caused many problems from wars and disputes.
These include cultural barriers, technical barriers, and different levels of economic
development between the nations. Still to this day many countries outside and
inside of Europe still have bonds with the English whether it be speaking the
language or economic impacts. It has improved so much that Germany was once
considered having the worse economy now its one of the best economy in Europe.
It is even considered to hold up the economy of the EU.
What political & economic and special conditions exist between European nations
due to their individual history?
What most of the European nations had in important was the European Union. The
EU was how the European nations came together to compare and contrast
differences between the nations. Politically the only way you could join was if your
nation was democratic system of government so that will be willing to change
things in their government. Economically a European nation must have a decent
economy so that they can be involved in trade and so each country can benefit off
of eachother.
