Why Europe Day? Why May?

On 9 May 1950, Robert Schuman declared that France and Germany should share their natural resources. His proposal to make the countries share their coal and steel would make conflict between them ‘not merely unthinkable, but materially impossible’. Other European nations soon joined the endeavor, marking the start of a European cooperation. Every year we commemorate the Schuman declaration with Europe Day.
