Europe wasn’t built in parliaments or on battlefields—but in quiet offices, through deals, trust, and relentless diplomacy. This is the untold story of Jean Monnet, the man who shaped modern Europe without ever holding elected office. From the chaos of two world wars, Monnet crafted a vision for unity that became the foundation of today’s European Union. Discover how one strategist’s concrete achievements created a de facto solidarity that still defines Europe today. This is Episode 2 in our Founding Fathers & Mothers of Europe series from EU Made Simple.

This is produced with the contribution of the Association Jean Monnet for pictures and video from archives.
