At the end of World War II, six states met to form the European Economic Community (EEC). Over the years, the EEC has become the European Union (EU) which included some other areas than the EEC did not address. In fact, the EU expanded its intervention and its application in other fields such as policy, justice, security, energy, etc. Up to 2020, the United Kingdom was one of the EU members.
[...] Finally, it's Brexit that was adopted. Brexit's consequences As declared by Graham Taylor, Professor in Sociology at the University of the West of England, Bristol in his book titled Understanding the Brexit: Why Britain voted to leave the European Union, argue that adopting such a position leads to a serious under-estimation of the social, cultural, economic and political significance of Brexit. The decision to leave the EU is the most visible tip of an iceberg of fundamental change that has been decades in the making. [...]
[...] In the agreements, negotiators avoided a new border being placed between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Although the Northern Ireland belongs to the United Kingdom, it was decided to keep it in the customs union of the European Union.

As David Cameron said in 2016, "It will never be possible for a British government to transfer more powers to the European Union without the British people having their say through a referendum." According to some people, this declaration would be at the origin of the future Brexit. In the following lines, we will develop the consequences of this exit. The word Brexit itself is supposed to be copied from Grexit. [...]
[...] For Theresa May, "Brexit means Brexit. The British people have voted to exit the European Union and if cool heads and rational discourse prevail a satisfactory economic outcome will be achieved through careful negotiation with the EU and the forging of a global trading future". Therefore, leaving the EU is not something new. Therefore, it is important to know whether the withdrawal in 2020 was motivated by other factors than the lack of European spirit.
