Croatia has been a part of Europe since its creation as a country because it is physically located in Europe. What you are referring to is it joining the organisation called the European Union. There are over 50 countries in the continent of Europe. 28 of those countries are members of the organisation called the European Union. Croatia became the 28th country to join, when it joined on the 1st of July 2013. There would be many reasons for joining, including trade, co-operation, support, investment and others.
