Warsdisrupt peace & prosperity through the destruction of economic resources (land, labor,& capital). Europe experienced two horrific ones in the 20th century and after the second one they had to come up with a social, economic, and political solution to prevent a third one.

The next intra-European war they were trying to avoid was even separate from the Cold War between the Warsaw Pact and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) that lasted from 1947 to 1991. Therefore, the European Union (EU) was formed to:

• create free trade zones that eliminated most tariffs on goods exchanged between member countries
• harmonize subsidies and other favorable trade protection practices
• stabilize, standardize, integrate, and control a mega-currency (the euro)
• fuse economic interdependency so that no member nation would dare risk war

Besides formal EU laws, regulations, and practices - there are business attempts of ensuring regional interdependency - one of which is the subject of this assignment - Airbus Industries.
