Answer:
to promote economic and political unity
Explanation:
The European Union was formed shortly after the end of the World War II. The reason for the formation of this organization was to promote economic support and development between the nations, as well as political unity, thus future conflicts to be prevented on the continent. The organization started off in Western Europe with only handful of members, but it gradually started to include other European nations in it, and nowadays there are more country members of the European Union in Europe, than countries that are not members of it.
