100th Birthday of Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi
Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi was born in 1894 in Tokyo. His father was an Austrian-Hungarian diplomat and his mother Japanese. Groomed since youth for imperial service in the Hapsburg Monarchy, the transnational "mini-Europe", he found himself without a country after World War I. Thus the potential foundation of his concept of a multiracial nation was lost. He wanted to bring this concept to life, however, through the establishment of a Pan-Europe. Already in 1923 he founded the Pan European Union, the origin of the unifying school of thought still existing in Europe today. The great pioneer of a united Europe died on July 27, 1972.
