No, sorry, but that's incorrect.

The reason we gained 75 years of peace is because France and Germany decided to form an alliance to prevent further conflict (considering they had just fought 2 wars in the space of 40 years), and, as a secondary goal, to reduce dependence on the US (de Gaulle being especially eager), starting with the Treaty of Rome, and evolving into the EU.

Yeah, shure. Germany, which started WW2, and France, which collapsed and capitulated less than a year later.

There have been no wars in Europe for 75 years because for those 75 years the United States single-handedly decided with whom Europe would start wars.
