Document Summary

By the early 2000s, the greek economy enjoyed very fast rates of growth. West germany had debts itself, but most of these debts were written off there was a huge imbalance in the way germany"s debts were treated and the way. During wwii, germany occupied greece so with this and all other things, the tensions are really building between these two countries. However, leaving the eu is a huge risk. Peak level figures come from the early 1990s. Only a little more than half of the eu citizens think the eu is beneficial. Britain is one of the least supportive of the eu and always has been. What was once a small and elite western european club, is now a full-blown european project. Western europe in particular is still within an american war sphere can the eu punch its weight? as a trading bloc, it is still a very impressive world figure.
