Causes of European Union and Its Possible Effects on the Participant Countries

Nowadays in our world, power is very important for countries. When we look for the power among countries, European Union which was found in 1992 takes our attention. European Union’s population includes 500 million people. EU has a really big role on politics but of course there are some causes for EU’s being. EU also affects countries in some ways.

  The first cause for foundation of EU is people’s wishes about being settled population. After crusade their prospects increased suddenly. They thought that if they can be settled population their health treatment can be done easily and they expected some financial sources and they decided to be organized. The second cause is gathering the power in one hand. If the power is summed in one hand, the countries which are the member of EU can manage not only their own country but also other countries. Finally, the last cause is; countries thought that if they come together, think and take some decisions together things would shape up in a better way and easily with the strength of the saying: “union makes strength”. 

  Just like the many reasons for its foundation, EU has some possible effects on countries. The first affect is; countries which are the members of EU can make comments about the internal affairs of the other countries. For example one country has a problem which seems like an international issue they immediately amalgamate and want from this country to do something. The second possible effect is the countries may have adaptation problems. For instance, as everybody knows that Turkiye has been trying to be a member of EU, however when the government wants to change and adapt something through EU, most of Turkish people is starting to be against of being member of EU. Joining EU is still discussed in Turkiye. The last effect is, as I mentioned before union makes strength and as we know that sharing ideas is very important, so the countries which are in EU can share their ideas and move through it. As a result; possibility of making mistake is decreasing for the members of EU.

To conclude, there are many causes and possible affects on some countries weather we know all the causes and effects of EU, it seems that big discussions about EU will never end because difference between different people’s ideas will always exist. But there is a one common thought that, EU can always affect either our social or our private life.
