Enlargement of the EU
In the 1950s, the EU began with just six member states. It now has 25. Growth in EU membership is known as "enlargement", and it has happened several times. The most recent enlargement, in May 2004, added ten more member states: the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia.
