The goal was to avoid a new war on the continent in the future.<\/p>\n\n<p>Thus, on May 9, 1950, Robert Schuman, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, proposed the creation of a European organization. This organization would pool French and German coal and steel production, two of the leading industries of the time. The main idea was to make war &#8220;not only unthinkable but also materially impossible.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>The organization was inspired by Jean Monnet, the first commissioner for planning. This founding text in the history of European construction led to the signing of the Treaty of Paris on April 18, 1951. It founded the European Coal and Steel Community between six European states (France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands).<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landofmemory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-Benelux_conferentie_te_Den_Haag._Toespraak_van_Drees._Vlnr-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Conference of creation of the BENELUX in The Hague in February 1958.\" class=\"wp-image-3058\" width=\"288\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.landofmemory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-Benelux_conferentie_te_Den_Haag._Toespraak_van_Drees._Vlnr-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.landofmemory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-Benelux_conferentie_te_Den_Haag._Toespraak_van_Drees._Vlnr-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.landofmemory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-Benelux_conferentie_te_Den_Haag._Toespraak_van_Drees._Vlnr-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.landofmemory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-Benelux_conferentie_te_Den_Haag._Toespraak_van_Drees._Vlnr.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><figcaption>Conference of creation of the BENELUX in The Hague in February 1958.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landofmemory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/4-Pact_van_Brussel-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"Pact of Brussels.
