Over the years, Europe has grown into a state of power only rivaled by the biggest powers in the world, because of their cooperation. However, the future of Europe is unpredictable, because of many, many possibilities that could happen.

First of all, the powers in Europe are not equal. The United Kingdom, Germany and France hold most of the power in Europe. According to statistics, by 2030 the death rates of European countries will exceed birthrates. Most countries will suffer a population loss, while the United Kingdom will keep growing, even if slower than usual. Even in the present, the UK has an amazing birth rate of approximately 1000 people per day. Therefore, the UK will gain much more power. As the UK uses a different currency, the economic future of Europe is uncertain. Thus, at least the economic future of Europe is unpredictable.

Furthermore, because of the previously mentioned rise in death rates, another economic crisis is expected. Some countries are still developing, such as Moldova, Turkey and Ukraine and there are many countries who already suffer great economic losses. The prime examples are Greece, Italy and Poland, followed by Hungary, Belarus and Armenia. Albania is also an underdeveloped country. On the contrary, there are also countries thought to be ideal for life, such as Norway, Luxembourg, and Sweden. There is no guarantee that UK, France and Germany won‘t completely dominate the economic future of Europe as Norway, Sweden and Luxembourg continues to be in good standing.

Finally, another estimate on Europe‘s future is a much more optimistic one. It is said that Europe will not hold power, but instead become a Union based on human and social rights. Since Europe has mostly been siding on social skills and human rights, some people expect them to change their purpose to improving human life in general. With their unpredictable economy, and their unbalanced power, experts do not expect them to stay as they are. They trust that nobody will become greedy with power, they believe Europe will band together to eradicate problems such as racism, hunger, environmental issues, religious oppression and poverty.

In the end, nobody can exactly predict what will happen to Europe. Hopefully, Europe will find a balance within itself, and have a decent economy along with their peace, and also work to improve human life. If humans are truly not corrupted, then each European country can sacrifice something to improve the health of Earth.
