What effect did the forming of the European Union have on the countries of Europe?
The formation of the European Union, known then as the European Coal and Steel Community, was an attempt for everlasting peace in Europe. This continent had undergone two immensely deadly world wars in just three decades. Both these wars had a large influence by the German-French tensions, as these countries were great enemies ever since the Franco-Prussian War.
After WWII ended, France attempted to economically conjoin its country with Germany in order to make another war impossible. The European Coal and Steel Community was formed, and although intended for just France and Germany, four additional countries wanted in on the deal: Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. Thus, the first supranational organization had been created. The ECSC quickly grew in power, as it focused on economics as many European countries were demilitarized by either force or choice due to WWII. The ECSC saw its first enlargement two decades after its creation, where Denmark, Ireland, and the United Kingdom joined (the UK was offered to join upon the establishment of the organization, but refused). Its second enlargement came a decade later, where only Greece joined. Just five years later, its third enlargement came about, where Portugal and Spain joined. The fourth enlargement came a decade later with the admittance of Austria, Finland, and Sweden. It's fifth enlargement, and largest to date, came a decade later, where Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia joined. Bulgaria and Romania are also included in this enlargement agenda, but the two countries joined three years later. Its sixth enlargement is undergo, where Croatia will join this year, 2013, six years after the largest enlargement.
The European Union has led to an interconnected, advanced, united European economy. It has led to many developments towards working towards unity, such as a free-travel policy (essentially visa-free travel), a universal currency (the Euro), free-trade, etc. The European Union is the world's largest economic power, and will most likely fuse into one nation someday. It is considered a potential superpower right alongside China, despite some already referring to it as a superpower.

The European union has had a positive effect on the world?
I would argue yes. The European Union has not only benefited Europe, but the world. It operates somewhat like its own country, and is even seen to some places of the world as its own nation. The EU has created a more united Europe and has flourished its economy (which has recently had a major setback). Regardless, the EU still has the highest gross domestic product when compared to actual countries.

What countries besides European countries were involved in the Holocaust?
It depends on what you mean by involved. Some Jews from Vichy controlled French North Africa were handed over to the Nazis, but apart from that active involvement did not extend beyond Europe. However, it you include countries that refused to accept refugees, then one can make out a case to the effect that most countries were in some sense involved by default.
