European Union
                                                                                        Europe which was once dominating over the world through their Colonialism is on declining side. It was  once said ' The Sun never set in the British Empire' but it appears that it is on the verge of setting for Europe.  France, Dutch, Portugal, Spain and other European countries prospered through sucking the natural resources of their colonies. Besides that the European industrial revolution also helped them to create a wealth in Europe at the cost of their colonies. The same Europe started feeling pinch of the freedom  movements in their colonies.  Consequently they lost the control over trade of the world.
                                Thereafter European countries started thinking protecting their trade interest by creating European Union which became  very strong trade based unions. However in the process the some of the members of the union started feeling that they are loosing their identity. Besides that strong members of union like Germany, France, Italy ,and England also tried to dominate over other members.


                                   England ultimately decided to get out of European Union in order to protect their Trade interest and Identity.  The public opinion of England is divided and they were in dilemma. i.e. How to get out of European Union with least damage.  The recent election result shows that' English people are now reconciled to exit from European Union.

                                   There is a difference opinion among members of European Union over immigrants from Middle East and Other Countries. The East European countries are not willing to admit immigrants to their countries.  The terrorism  is the major problem in Europe and there is  lots of heart burning  thereon.
                                   Europe is depending on fuel supplied from Russia and they want to develop close relation with Russia. While East European countries are opposing the said idea because they had very bad experience with Russia.

                                    The American President Donald  Trump has also added fuel to fire telling that Europe should contribute more funds in running the 'NATO' and UNO which were formed at the end of the World War. It  appears America which is  one of the strongest allies of European Union is differing with it on many issues.  All these things have change the circumstances and political relationship with USA.
                                    In view of above the European Union is very much in stress and strain. The exit of England will  create more pressure on the European Union. All these developments shows that Europe is loosing its political luster and some of the countries of Asia i.e.  China , Japan, South Korea, India and Indonesia will have a better  development future in time to come. All these development is encouraging for the creation  of '  North and South East Asia Union'.
                                   The time always change its course and this is one of the living example.
