This map shows the member states of the european union (eu). based on this map, what is the most likely reason the eu was formed? a) to increase trade between european nations b) to protect themselves from foreign enemies c) to begin the process of forming one large nation d) to isolate europe from the rest of the international community j

The correct answer is - C) to begin the process of forming one large nation.

If the map is the indicator of what the goal of the European Union is, that the map would suggest that it is the formation of one large nation.

This indeed is one of the goals of the EU. It started with the economics, than through the social and political aspects. The EU itself has its own government, a government which should be obeyed by all the governments of the member countries, and that is one very big step towards that ideal.

Also, the EU has been trying for quite some time now to eradicate the nationalism in the member countries, as well as trying to make the people declare themselves as Europeans, not by their ethnicity. That doesn't seem to go very well though, as the people in Europe still hold strong to their ethnic background, their traditions, culture.
