The essay analyzes the process of European unification after the Second World War. It starts with the enormous distrust that had most of the European states towards Germany, and it explains how, in the following decades, this distrust diminished slowly. Nevertheless, it did not disappear completely, what could be seen clearly in the process of German reunification after the fall of the Wall of Berlin. Furthermore, the essay underlines that the European Union has been built from one crisis to another, and all these crises finally have contributed to strengthen the idea of the European unity.
