Compare the number of times the EU states went to war with each other before 1945 to the number of times it happened the founding of the European Community.
I can think of a few other reasons than that....

A we were all as good as broke. No money = Not being able to lay siege on anyone

B We are no longer the topdogs, the days the Europeans could do whatever they fancied are long gone.
