1. Event that marked the unprecedented turn on June 23rd 2016 as 17.

4 Million populace
voted to become first populace (Britain) to leave EU ( European union).
2. After WWII in order to reduce the mass destruction a economic ties approach was used.
That will be much less likely to fight each other so in 1957 Belgium France Italy Luxembourg
Netherlands and West Germany signed the Treaty of Rome and formed the European
Economic Community.
1. The UK wasn't included it tried to join in 1963 and 67 but was blocked by French
president Charles de Gaulle the Gaul didn't trust the British in their close allies the United
States.
2. Although de Gaulle's official reason was that the UK's economy wasn't compatible with
Europe's.
3. Few years later once de Gaulle was out of power the UK became a member of the EEC in
1973.
4. But not everyone was sold on the idea so just two years after joining, the UK held its
first ever national referendum to decide whether it should turn around and leave. the vote
wasn't close 67% of the electorate chosen to stay.
5. Since the EEC has become known as the European Union expanded to 28 member states
and enacted countless laws and reforms that have created a thriving political and economic
zone with 500 million citizens.
6. In many ways it was designed to mirror the world's most successful Federal Republic the
United States just like the American colonies had done two centuries earlier i.e ( Article of
Confederation) to free US from Britain Colonized.
7. The individual countries of Europe decided they'd be better off economically and
geopolitically if they formed a unified group.
8. Good Decision: look no further than the year by year per person GDP rate which is
skyrocketed across the entire eurozone Germany the UK and France the EU's biggest
economies and the fourth fifth and sixth largest individual economies in the world have
seen their growth track right along with each other since they became unified at roughly the
rate of the United States.
9. Turkey who wants desperately to join the union compared to Portugal Italy Greece and
Spain before EU countries most affected by the global downturn at the end of the previous
decade.
10. EU became more and more integrated as its members chose to give up more and more
of their sovereignty.
11. UK kept negotiating ways to stay independent from key aspects of the rest of the Union,
it didn't open its borders like the rest of the EU did in 1995 to create completely free
movement within the Union and it chose to keep the British pound as its currency instead of
adopting the euro.
12. The development that made the UK's eventual exit most likely with the adoption of the
Lisbon Treaty in 2009 not only does it make the EU central institutions more efficient and
more powerful but for the first time it gave its members an official mechanism to leave,
called article 50.
13. Around the same time the world was hit by a severe recession (2007-2009), Greece
whose public debt was far higher than most other EU members with worse off its fellow
union members forced it to implement severe spending cutbacks in exchange for the
money it needed to stabilize its economy.
14. The Great Recession was followed by a migrant crisis as millions of refugees fled war-
torn countries across the Middle East and North Africa.
15. Immigration rates rose across Europe the preferred destination was one of the big three
economies Germany the UK or France.
16. All these new arrivals many of whom were in need of tremendous public assistance.
17. Anti-immigrant nationalist feelings rose as Europe's leaders came under heavy pressure
to stop the flow, fences and walls were built in the east, patrols were intensified along the
Mediterranean coast, camps were set up along borders and deportations rose.
18. Some leaders like Germany's Angela Merkel pledged to welcome large numbers of
migrants while the UK as an island was able to stop a flow more easily.
19. Facing a tough re-election UK Prime Minister David Cameron promised that if he Won.
He will schedule a public referendum on whether the UK should leave the EU when he did
win he used this as leverage to renegotiate a few minor terms of the Caze membership.
20. Cameron also made it a referendum (2016) of sorts on his time in office while giving his
rivals and critics who wanted him out an extra incentive to push for brexit chief among
those urging brags that were right-wing politicians who relied on inflamed rhetoric and
misinformation.
21. One of the primary leave arguments was that the UK as one of the wealthier countries
in the Union was contributing too much money to the EU budget almost (350 Million
Pounds).
22. Another factor that pushed Britain toward the exit was terrorism a string of attacks
some carried out by immigrants had hit Europe including the devastating November 2015
violence in Paris that killed or injured nearly 500 people.
23. a look at the data also helps us understand why immigration was a key issue compared
to the four other European countries with more than 40 million residents the UK has the
highest population density. The US is six times less crowded than the UK.
24. The brexit vote which finally brings us to the decision that shocked the world by a
narrow vote of 51.9 to 48 point one the United Kingdom decided to leave the European
Union the consequences were immediate Camero resigned and the value of the British
Pound plummeted today it remains around 15% lower against the dollar.
25. Theresa May a member of Cameron's cabinet had been against brexit. Chosen not to
publicly campaign positioning her perfectly to succeed Cameron as Prime Minister.
26. Sent a letter to EU press Donald Tusk invoking article 50 which starts a two-year
countdowns in the UK to negotiate future relationship with Europe.
27. European Court of Justice will continue to have jurisdiction over the UK whether the UK
will reject the EU Human Rights Act in favour of writing their own British Bill of Rights.
28. how the security and crime-fighting relationship will work how much the UK will pay for
EU projects and programmes that it committed to before breaks it, what the rights are for
EU citizens living in the UK and vice versa.
29. Scotland due to vote and Northern Ireland's land border remained at unexpected fate.
30. Lord John Kirk detailed the bill Britain must agree to pay before any negotiations can
move forward the trade negotiation. Leading to equivocal two breaks.
31. A soft break that would largely keep things the same as they are now with the continued
free movement of goods and people from the continent but a hard break as it would result
in import taxes on goods and services in both directions card would also restrict the
migration of EU citizens into the UK. Norway is an example of how a soft brags it would
work it is a member of the single market but not a full EU member so for access to the
market it accepts.
32. EU German Chancellor Angela Merkel has made it clear that Europe is going to drive a
hard bargain and will look after the interests of its 27 members.
33. Business will be affected by the elimination of this free and open market.
34. UK plans to pass a great repeal bill it will copy all the existing EU laws into UK law to give
Parliament time to decide which laws to keep change or get rid of this uncertainty as many
who voted for Brighton regretting their decision.
