INTRODUCTION
The ECSC was the first of a series of supranational European institutions that would ultimately become today's "European Union”. Established in 1951 mainly by Robert Schuman and Jean Monet, its highest objective was to create “the United States of Europe”.However, this paper will deal first with the ECSC origin. After we will analyze the main objectives and finally we will explain the achievement & dissolution.

CONCLUSION
In summary, the ECSC aimed not only to introduce European peace, but also to contribute to the expansion of the economy, the development of employment and the improvement of the standard living of its citizens.
However, the ECSC failed to achieve several fundamental objectives of the treaty of Paris.
Therefore, these failures could be put down to over ambition in a short period of time, or that the goals were merely political posturing to be ignored.
