So something similar to the OTL EU, only ealier. This doesn't mean that it is attempting to federalize Europe (though it can be aiming at that if you like). I mean free trade, massive alliances, and places to resolve disputes without stabbing each other with bayonets. Not all at once though. It doesn't have to contain all current EU member-states, as quite likely, Britain would be appaled at the thought of joining these groups :D, though as many as you can.

Of the top of my head, I can think of a few.
1) Napoleonic France sets up a FTZ with the rest of it's protectorates. Also sets up European Council to stop future massive wars.
2) CPs (including Italy) set up a FTZ at the end of the Great War to boost their economies.
3) More lenient France and less isolationist Britain set up a European Council at the end of the Great War to avoid further massive wars.
4) The Nazis set up an EU council with their protectorates and allies (Vichy, Italy, Hungary etc)

That's all I got.

***EDIT***
I spelt "earlier" wrong! Jesus you'd think I was dyslexic.
