Postwar European Views on National Sovereignty

National sovereignty was considered irrelevant, and European countries showed no interest in any form of international cooperation.

European nations maintained an uncompromising stance on national independence, rejecting any form of supranational integration during this period.

The idea of national sovereignty was entirely abandoned immediately after World War II in favor of a fully federal European state.

There was a gradual shift from prioritizing strict national sovereignty to embracing supranational cooperation for economic recovery and long-term stability.
