Most of the original EU countries were from Western Europe since the European Union came into being as a result of Franco-West German economic agreements regarding coalmining. The Benelux countries wanted to be part of that agreement, forming the antecedents of the European Union. Additionally, Eastern Europe refused to recognize a common economic market because that would be a recognition of capitalism (as opposed to communism which prevailed in Eatern Europe).
