My American history wasn't good, but wasn't the american civil war down to differences between the northern and southern states and with no federal government controlling?
Of course you have a good point because there has been no proven political system, union or federal system of any sort that has been stopped wars entirely but I think war is more common when you have multi-polar countries gunning for power.

Personally I will take the risks involved in freedom over giving power to a vast centralized government that only ends up representing itself.. Does the EU council care what individual people with individual cultures want? Organize 2000 people to march at your local government, and they will sit up, take notice, and you will be represented. Organize that same 2000 people to the EU council and they won't even realize you're there.
