A drop in the ocean: Is the Euro crumbling?

BBC has made a brief but meaty presentation on the Euro.  Before watching it, have a look at the meanings of the following terms:

debt – the money you owe someone
loan  – a sum of money you borrowed from a bank
bail-out – financial help given to organizations or countries facing difficulties

lender – a person or organization that lends money to someone
bond yields – money that is earned from a bond
contagion – disease, infection

After watching the video, answer the following questions:

What do the two parallel lines symbolize in ?
Why was launched?
What went wrong?

In your answers try to use these words:
to crumble, to certify, to smooth, to soar, at a price, unaffordable, to lose out, to be exposed to
If you are not sure about the meanings, check them in Cambridge Dictionary.
