europe was divided into catholics and protestants
catholic countries versus protestant countries
many wars for a thousand years
political ideology was a quicker tool than religion to use during industrialisation
every population in every country in europe was divided into two factions: capitalist and socialists
no population in any country in europe were only capitalist or only socialist
the populations were encouraged to either be capitalist or socialist or versions of that: nationalist or communists
a few wars for a few decades
economic warfare instead of hot warfare
trade became popular
it became easier for countries in europe to cooperate,
every country had capitalists, so every country had a reason to cooperate
every country had socialists, so every country had reasons to cooperate
trade alliances instead of war alliances
a union was easy to form
