From the Paper:

"For the most part the effects of WWII on the whole of Europe were both disastrous and expansive. After this Great War and consequent destruction it became the desire of many Europeans to ensure that an event such as WWII never again would tear Europe apart. In the beginning some, including Winston Churchill, were in favor of forming a European federation government similar in construct to the United States of America. As a result of this sentiment the Council of Europe was formed but remained largely restrictive."
