Jean Monnet

politician France

Jean Monnet was a French political economist and diplomat, considered one of the founding fathers of the European Union. Born on November 9, 1888, in Cognac, France, he played a crucial role in promoting European integration after World War II. Monnet advocated for a united Europe as a means to ensure peace and stability on the continent. His vision led to the formation of the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951, which laid the groundwork for the European Economic Community and ultimately the European Union. Monnet's belief in the importance of economic cooperation as a pathway to political unity has left a lasting legacy, influencing European policy and integration efforts. He passed away on March 16, 1979, but remains a pivotal figure in discussions about European unity and governance.
