The European Union grew out of the European Economic Community, which six countries founded in 1957 with the Treaties of Rome – the Federal Republic was one of them. The Federal Republic only joined NATO in 1955, and the United Nations in 1973. The GDR, not the Federal Republic, was in the Warsaw Pact.
