Europe is united is impossible almost, if was united really, actual strength will exceed the United States, no matter be economic actual strength or actual strength of science and technology, but in respect of martial actual strength, unified Europe still is not American adversary, this is in short-term inside be very difficult changeover.
Is Europe very weak? In the dynamic European nation on world stage, basically be England, france, germany, but the iron lever ally that England is the United States, the footstep of United States of political follow closely; France is immersed in nowadays " yellow waists-coat uprises " ; German economy level is very high, but it is vanquished nation of World War II.
Compare with American photograph, europe is quite weak still, but above is merely contrast with a country and United States, if be whole Europe, the situation is different. Population measures: The United States 325 million, europe 743 million, GDP: 18 trillion dollar of American, europe: 19.8 trillion dollar, land area: 3.797 million square of American mile, europe: 3.93 million square mile.
If scrutiny, european mouth amount is the United States 2 times, but GDP compares the United States many a little bit only, in light of average per capita, europe is far still be inferior to the United States, be indifferent to nevertheless, after all gross had exceeded.
Besides population amount, domanial area and GDP beyond these good target, rate of development of science and technology is likewise important, well-known, the United States is big country of science and technology, had had winner of many 300 nobel prize at present, be close to the 1/3 of gross, but the 2/3 of the others basically is in European hand, obtain as to the country such as Japan, opposite for less still.
Nobel prize respect, europe is over explode the United States, that is to say level of European science and technology exceeds the United States far.
This is incorrect, on the feeling, level of science and technology should exceed Europe to just be opposite!
If have this kind of feeling, the specification is correct, because European nobel prize is won before World War II more, around of World War II, united States of many scientist immigrant, flat perhaps United States be goinged to by staking, for instance Germany, the Soviet citizen grabs goods and materials, grab gold, the United States grabs a scientist, after World War II ends, American science and technology begins to send force.
Till today, among the university of before the world is ranked 10, only two are located in Europe, it is Oxford Cambridge of England, of the others is American university completely, not decline to shoulder a responsibility of haing Buddha university obtains the first. University pop chart can show scientific research ability most, this, europe is not compared.
Martial actual strength: Europe has 3 permanent members, england, france, russia, they possess nuclear weapon, but in groovy weapon respect, inferior slightly at the United States.
The United States has 13000 of all kinds opportunity for combat, aircraft carrier of 11 nuclear power, machine of two the Five Dynasties, bomber of body of a concealed, these respects, europe is far be inferior to the United States. Russia has opportunity of the Five Dynasties revive - 57, and Germany, france is done not have, england is the F35 that imports from the United States.
Europe is unified and most make an even more powerful than the United States economy system, but the short leg as a result of martial actual strength, return what cannot say to be superpower.
Can be Europe united?
Have a such joke, student studying abroad of a China asks his Germany the fellow student, europe and Chinese area are about the same, why should be Europe divided into so many countries?
This thought for German classmate, be full of scowl say: I also do not know, we tried twice, they do not deserve to close.
Never had united truly on European history, even if Roman empire and Chaliman are big the Supreme Being, also do not have regnant too whole Europe, if who wants to undertake trying again, the result is unavoidable be again world war just. France and Germany, france and England, difference is vast between Western Europe and hamster, reach impossibly in unified respect consistent.
