The European parliament was founded in the former German city of Straßburg in 1952. Straßburg had been formally incorporated into the French First Republic in 1792, taken back by [[Bismarck]] in 1871, returned to France by the [[Versailles Treaty]] in 1919, recouped by [[Hitler]] in 1940, and returned to the French Fourth Republic by the Angelo-American Alliance after [[World War II]].

The EU parliament originally was founded as the Common Assembly of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) to insure German [[coal]] production from the [[Rhineland]], [[Saar]], and [[Ruhr]] would continue to fuel French manufacturing and electric power plants,<ref>For more background on the issues and controversies, see [[Henry_Morgenthau,_Jr.#Morgenthau_plan|Morgenthau Plan]].</ref> and that coal production would not be cut off again to strangle the French [[economy]], as it had been in two world wars over the city of Straßburg and province of Alsace.

The [[CIA]] encouraged the ECSC, which eventually became known as the European Common Market (a [[NAFTA]]-style deal), and today known as the European Union or European Project. It had a supposed "supranational parliament," elected by popular vote from member states since 1958, with no real power for it's first 50 years, awaiting the day a younger generation could be brainwashed in [[public school]]s into believing that the institution had legitimacy and actual "supranational" power. It's existence and ultimate success or failure is entirely dependent on the outcome of the [[War on Sovereignty]]. The 2019 elections became pivotal to the outcome.
