Explanation
West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany) was one of the original six states that founded the European Economic Community in 1957, which evolved into today’s European Union. It did not found NATO (joined 1955), did not found the UN (joined 1973), and was never part of the Warsaw Pact.
Tips
- Identify founding years and memberships: EU roots in the 1957 Rome Treaties with six Western European countries including West Germany; NATO founded in 1949 without West Germany; UN founded in 1945, Germany joined later; Warsaw Pact was the Eastern Bloc alliance, not involving the Federal Republic. Use timeline cues and old War blocs to eliminate distractors.
