Started like this:
The European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was founded by the Treaty of Paris (1951). Its members were France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands who pooled their steel and coal resources and create a common market for those products.
It was the fulfillment of a plan developed by French economist Jean Monnet, publicised by the French foreign minister Robert Schuman. It was also strongly supported by the United States. |

1973 IIRC
