In 2007, the 50th anniversary of the "Treaties of Rome" was celebrated. What was the content of the treaties?

Why — for every option

1. A — West Germany's accession to NATO took place in 1955 through the Paris Agreements, not through the Treaties of Rome of 1957.
2. B — Correct: the Treaties of Rome of 25 March 1957 founded the European Economic Community (EEC) and Euratom, the predecessors of today's EU.
3. C — Reparations issues were addressed in other agreements (including the Potsdam Conference, later treaties), not in the Treaties of Rome.
4. D — The Oder-Neisse line was only established as Germany's eastern border in the Treaty of Warsaw in 1970 and finally in the Two Plus Four Treaty in 1990, not in the Treaties of Rome.
