"The EU was created after World War II to integrate and streamline trade among its member countries." — True.

Brief explanation: the EU developed from post‑WWII efforts (e.g., the European Coal and Steel Community, Treaty of Rome) to promote economic integration, free trade and prevent further conflict. The other statements are false: the EU exists, it is not more powerful than its member states in all areas (sovereignty remains with states in many domains), and it has no standing military force (it can run joint missions and has battlegroup arrangements but no permanent EU army).
