World Map

Richard Count Coudenhove-Kalergi was one of the most prominent protagonists in the debate about European integration during the interwar years. His notion of Europe is markedly different from today’s EU, however. His 1923 book Paneuropa featured a map with the parts of the world that he wanted to become part of this union. For him, the colonies of the various continental European nation-states should become part of Paneuropa.
