The idea that Europe should be united politically has been present in European culture since the Middle Ages, and inspired several proposals for some form of confederation. With the growth of nationalism in the 19th century, several pan-national ideas of Europe developed, some of them based on Aryanism and other race theories.
Within the larger current of pan-European thought, there are those who explicitly support the idea that Europe is a single nation, or that it should seek to become one. In French, this concept is known as Nation-Europe or Europe-Nation. The term European Nationalism is sometimes used in English which may be shortened to Euronationalism.
Support for the idea is urgent in this time of great peril for the European People. Paradoxically - since a single nation-Europe implies the disappearance of existing nations - it is found mostly on the fringes of nationalist parties and it is these same parties that should evolve from their primitive individualistic nationalism and start defending Pan-European Nationalism.
Some of the 19th-century nationalists were supporters of a form of European unity. The Italian nationalist Giuseppe Mazzini, the founder of Young Italy and an inspiration for Young Ireland, also founded an association called Young Europe in 1834. (Mazzini sought no European state: he saw Europe as inherently composed of nations). The International Paneuropean Union or 'Paneuropean Movement' was founded in 1923 by Richard Nikolaus Graf Coudenhove-Kalergi. It survived the Second World War, and had some influence on the formation of the European Economic Community. (Coudenhove-Kalergi first proposed An die Freude as European anthem). Unfortunately nowadays it is clear that The International Paneuropean Union has betrayed the People of Europe alongside the Marxist/Liberal European Union, which has a clear agenda to sell Europe and it’s people to the savage capitalist interests. In the meantime, Europeans are daily being brainwashed into accepting the sick and twisted project for our future that the Marxist/Liberal traitors have cooked up for us.
Towards the end of the Second World War, Nazi-German propaganda emphasized the 'European' nature of the struggle against the Soviet Union. However, no concrete proposals for a pan-European structure replaced the earlier ideas of German hegemony in its Lebensraum. Hitler and his Nazi regime are one more of the great catastrophes of History that have struck the European People. The crimes the Nazi regime committed against Europeans can and will never be forgotten, for this reason, any European that supports Nazism and at the same time calls himself a Pan-European Nationalist cannot be accepted into any true Euronationalist movement, for the simple reason that Nazism is a German Nationalist Movement and not an Euronationalist Movement. Any Nazi is therefore a traitor to Europe and is of no use for the European Pan-Nationalists.
After the war, the Swede Per Engdahl created a European Social Movement (with the same name as a small French collaborationist party, founded in 1942 by Pierre Costantini) alongside Maurice Bardèche. A more extremist splinter group, the New European Order, would also emerge under Switzerland's Gaston Armand Amaudruz
Shortly afterwards Francis Parker Yockey created the European Liberation Front which only had a brief existence. Much the same fate awaited the European Popular Movement created at the end of 1950s by Otto Strasser
In 1960, parallel to the foundation of Jeune Europe by Jean Thiriart, the latter, with Otto Strasser and Oswald Mosley, briefly created the National Party of Europe. Mosley promoted European Nationalism with his Europe a Nation campaign, and through his (British) Union Movement. Jeune Europe disappeared in 1969. It was succeeded by several pan-European movements of less importance, such as Comité de liaison des européens révolutionnaires and the European Liberation Front (the second organisation with this name).Montag Spice - July 30th 2011
