In fact, some countries in Europe also hope to be unified and move towards a big country, but it has never been realized. Instead, it has always been divided. Moreover, Germany and France still contain each other, but the more they contain, the less they can form a big country. In the end, European countries were divided, and some countries also had internal problems, which made European countries very small. Some towns are a country, or smaller villages are a country.
The main reason for the division of European countries is because of Britain. You should know the geographical location of Britain, just like the geographical location of Japan in Asian countries. But Britain is not as big as Japan, and it is particularly close to the European continent. So if Europe is unified, Britain will be very dangerous, so Britain has adopted a method to keep a balance between those countries that may unify Europe.
Britain will be there to help when needed, creating a state of constant balance, so that they can not be unified, and Britain can ensure its own security. So all the other continents in the world are at peace, and only Europe has been splitting.
