Because an economic/political union that has protected Europe for 75 years from centuries of terrible bloodshed is coming apart. For centuries, European nations fought bloody wars massacring each other by the hundreds of thousands, then millions and eventually tens of millions. When the US entered World War I in 1917, 46 million Protestants and 62 million Catholics on one side were trying to kill 45 million Protestants and 63 million Catholics on the other side. Millions died. Two decades later in World War II, at least 20 million died. Rampant nationalism that moved the British to hate and kill the French and then the Germans to hate and kill millions was a major cause of these centuries of bloodshed.
