Nearly 21 years ago, on January 1, 1958, the European Economic Community was officially launched, tying together the fortunes of continental Europe's most important and economically-advanced powers — West Germany, France, Italy and the Benelux nations. On another New Year's Day, this time in 1973, the Community was enlarged to nine member states with the addition of Great Britain, Ireland, and Denmark. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
