Everyone knows that not all Europe’s countries are in European Union, so it would be interesting why. Looking back to history about Britain, we can see that at the beginning they did not wanted to join European Union, then called EEC (European Economic Community). When the Six (Little Europe Six) established their first major association leading to closer integration, that is European Coal and Steel Community (ECSE), Britain kept his distance, didn’t join the institution as they felt it wouldn’t bring any benefit compared to its transatlantic and Commonwealth relations. European Economic Community made the European Free Trade Association which they offered as alternative to sign with Britain.
