In this section we would like to introduce you to a brief history of the European Expansion, from World War II till nowadays, trying to provide you with the key information and the key steps that guided us to the actual geopolitical situation.

The European Expansion could be divided into 4 main periods :  Each of this period has been developed in a separate page in which you can find a map and a brief description of the main happenings. We invite you then to click on the links to find out more and more on this important topic.
 * 1) **The period of the Six **
 * 2) **The first enlargement and the UK controversy **
 * 3) **The expansion through the Eighties and the Nineties **
 * 4) **The year 2000 and the future enlargement. **
