However, I mainly interested in how power is configured in Europe. From what I read it is derived from either 415 3-Phase which gives 240 Volts on line, or 380 3-Phase which gives 220 Volts on line, and 230 Volts on line was a compromise between the two ?

Yes: the permitted tolerances on the 230 V supply have been set so that minimal changes were required to both networks in order to meet the requirements.
