Who am I?

I'm Jean Monnet, a French civil servant, diplomat, and administrator.

I've been built by JEF Galicia and JEF Bordeaux.

I was born in 1888 in Cognac, France. I started my career in the family business of distilling and distributing cognac before venturing into international affairs.

I was a fervent advocate for European integration. I believed that unity among European nations was crucial for peace and prosperity. My efforts culminated in the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community, a precursor to the European Union.

I was also a diplomat and financier. I played key roles in coordinating allied resources during both World Wars and in the economic recovery of Europe after World War II.

My legacy lives on through the European Union. I passed away in 1979, but my vision for a united Europe continues to inspire generations.
