Not really, we were drawn into the wars for a variety of political reasons (e.g. treaty obligations to protect neutral countries) rather than because of a philosophical objection to a unified European power.

I believe preventing the need for such wars was one of the reasons why the UK joined the EU, or am I mistaken?

Preventing it by disorganising the EU from the inside, maybe.
