Who brought peace to Europe, NATO or the EU?

Pax Americana.
They brought us peace, they brought the world EVERYTHING, in the 20th century. Despite living in the old world I am an American in spirit, just like you previously had Romans everywhere. I love the acceleration we have been experiencing in technology and the arts (film, electric/electronic music, interactive art) especially, even political progress (CIA, NSA, US Army) is apparent if you ignore the humanitarian foreground: perhaps liberal egalitarians and prudish luddite reactionaries alike will eventually be rounded-up and silenced, and this gaping hole in ressentiment will instead be replaced with the desire for an American emperor, one who will realize the goal that /bleibt der Erde treu/.
Praise Rome, Praise America.

I'd say both. NATO and the US provided the "big stick" to keep europeans in line and prevent them from doing something stupid again, while the EU slowly created the economical ties that makes the idea of a new European war contrarian to the interests of most States in Europe. IMHO for a long time both the NATO and the EU worked in synergy to assure peace in Europe, with NATO being the biggest player in the early years and the EU growing in importance as time passed..

EU did NOTHING to keep the peace in Europe that is simply a myth created by the globalists.

Fools think that emperors are great. Wise men understand that emperors are a symptom of hidden rot. Authoritarianism is the fever of a sick nation, an attempt to correct subtle problems by brute force. When broadly-based civil institutions are strong and foreign policy is astute, there is no need for imperial structures.

Neither, WW1 & 2 brought peace to Europe just as the Wars of Religion brought peace to Christianity.

The EU brought internal peace through mutual benefit via commerce, NATO brought external security for this to develop.
And now we have a fat and peace loving Europe. Wait, why did we want this again?
