The Blame Game

The scenario

The financial crisis in 2009 led to a depression in Europe. The billions of Euro pumped into the financial market by the richer nations in the EU, helped the economy to stabilize and it showed signs of recovery. But, the recovery was long drawn and the rich nations were not able to sustain the financial flow and started withdrawing the money released, to divert it to other economic requirements. The EU was also unable to sustain subsidising the lesser developed member states. Polititians were under pressure for more protectionist policies. Nationalist movements were spreading while the network and unified philosophy were collapsing. This caused wide spent resentment among member nations. With rising unemployment levels and falling standards of living, member nations turn their focus inward and adopted more socialistic practices. People started re-look at their identity. At that point, the world believed in a sucessful unified EU, but as the EU was not able to keep the ship afloat, powerful members considered the option of being the first to part ways so that they were able to serve their people better. EU started to desintegrate.
