Relocation and resettlement of refugees in the European Union – what has happened to solidarity?

Abstract

The idea of a united Europe was created by people from different disciplines – scholars, philosophers, political leaders, artists, and religious leaders. It is also similar to the decision to start a war. It usually is a decision of leaders who think that this is the only way to resolve problems. Attempts to unify Europe were made after the emergence of cruel conflicts. The Romans tried to unite the European continent by conquering states during a period known as the post-Republican period of ancient Rome. This state was composed of large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, North Africa, and West Asia ruled by emperors. Rome remained the nominal capital of both parts until 476 AD. The fall of the Western Roman Empire to Germanic kings, along with the Hellenization of the Eastern Roman Empire into the Byzantine Empire, denoted the end of Ancient Rome and the beginning of the Middle Ages. But the wars and conflicts on the European continent continued.
