The United States Of Europe : Kessinger Publishing : 9781437334913 : 1437334911 : 26 Nov 2008 : ""The United States of Europe: On the Eve of the Parliament of Peace"" is a book written by William Thomas Stead in 1899. In this book, Stead envisioned a united Europe, free of war and conflict, with a centralized government and a common currency. He argued that such a union would bring about economic prosperity and social harmony, and would be a bulwark against the aggression of other nations. Stead's vision was prescient, as it anticipated the formation of the European Union almost a century later. The book is a fascinating historical document, offering insight into the political and social climate of the late 19th century, and the hopes and dreams of those who sought to build a better world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
