Europe has had several attempts to unite it and none of those attempts were successful for long.

I can’t see this as any different.

You mean ending in a big war?

I wonder what was so "unpeaceful" about the US being dominant there. Seems like the more those countries are moved to unite by Germany, the less peaceful things get. I'm still reminded of Churchill's words on the concept of a united Europe:
It should be built by the English. If the Russians built it, there would be communism and squalor. If the Germans built it, there would be tyranny and brute force.
May not seem like it now, but the big swing towards antisemitism all over the continent (even in Germany, especially among the majority who believe that Israel's conducting a "war of extermination against the Palestinians) could make things explode in a surprising instant.
