What is treaties of rome?

The Treaties of Rome were two international agreements signed in 1957 at the Capitoline Hill in Rome. These treaties established the European Economic Community (EEC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), which were the predecessors to the modern-day European Union. The EEC was created to promote economic integration among the member states and to remove trade barriers and tariffs. Euratom was established to coordinate nuclear energy policies among the member states.

The six founding members of the EEC were France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. The Treaties of Rome marked an important moment in European history as they were the first formal steps towards creating a united Europe. Over the years, the treaties were tweaked and amended through additional treaties and protocols, leading to the evolution of the modern-day European Union with 27 member states.
