For American, The Cause by Joseph Ellis is a new synopsis.
For industrial, The Birth of Plenty by William Bernstein is a great one.

Odd to word your question as European Union versus Europe. Even Norway isn't part of the EU.

Interesting. Thanks for the answer. Was swimming earlier when the question popped into my head and I realized I didn’t know if they were just large baths or used more like modern pools.

Yes 1948 was the year that British Colonialism downsized redrawing borders for India ,Pakistan and India. THe vacumn left generated much violence. They also pulled back from Jerusalum and the Jews took over. They had been secretly making weapons and ammo for just this occaision.
