One point about civil wars in regard to whether WWII counts as a European Civil War. Civil Wars and Revolutions are fought to enforce or break political unions. The two world wars do not meet this requirement because they were not in reference to a preexisting political entity. Since the discussion was regarding the EU in order to qualify as a Civil War the conflict would need to be in order to enforce or break the EU. This is more than a semantic issue. The two world wars were indeed important in creating an environment more receptive to political union. But once that union has been created it still needs to be tested. A military test is probably very unlikely but some sort of political civil war is certainly possible. Btw I'm not forecasting that, just following the hypotheses :)
