==History==
==Early history==
Europe is the birthplace of Western culture. European nations played a predominant role in global affairs from the 16th century onwards, especially after the beginning of colonization. By the 17th and 18th centuries European nations controlled most of Africa, the Americas, and large portions of Asia. World War I and [[World War II]] led to a decline in European dominance in world affairs as the United States and Soviet Union took prominence. The Cold War between those two superpowers divided Europe along the Iron Curtain. European integration led to the formation of the Council of Europe and the European Union in Western Europe, both of which expanded eastward since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

The European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of national governments located primarily in Europe on Earth. Established under its current name in 1993, the EU continues to exist as a major political entity in the 26th century.[2] A democratic confederation of nations, the European Union is economically and politically powerful, as well as proudly multicultural.[3]

Early history

Europe is the birthplace of Western culture. European nations played a predominant role in global affairs from the 16th century onwards, especially after the beginning of colonization. By the 17th and 18th centuries European nations controlled most of Africa, the Americas, and large portions of Asia. World War I and World War II led to a decline in European dominance in world affairs as the United States and Soviet Union gained prominence. The Cold War between those two superpowers divided Europe along what came to be known as the Iron Curtain. The European Union was formally established when the Maastricht Treaty—whose main architects were Helmut Kohl and François Mitterrand—came into force on November 1st, 1993.

Recent history

At some point in the 22nd century, the Houses of Parliament in the United Kingdom (a member of the European Union) were severely damaged in a domestic terrorist attack. At some other point following this attack, Russia gained control over the UK, which at that point ceased to be a member of the EU and instead became subservient to that nation.
