Churchill – United States of Europe

It is official! The iconic Sir Winston Churchill called for the creation of a ‘United States of Europe’ in his famous 1946 Zurich speech and presided the first European Federal Congress at The Hague in 1948. He was one of the key fathers of a united Europe and set in motion ideas and events, which would develop and grow to become the European Union.
