A momentous day for Europe. And one that paved the way for the greatest collaboration in collectivist, cross national governance the world has ever seen.
It may be far from perfect but it remains the best hope for nations seeking coexistence, peace and interdependence.
On this day in 1957, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands signed the Treaty of Rome.
They laid the foundations for today’s European Union.
United in diversity, then and now 🇪🇺

Philip Cairns (13) vanished on this day in Dublin in 1986 while walking back to school after lunch break. His schoolbag was found in a laneway in south Dublin one week later. Someone knows the answer. Thinking of Philip and his family. @gardainfo @ForensicSci_Ire
