In a historic referendum on June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, with 52% of the public supporting the departure in a move known as Brexit.
Following the referendum, the UK formally triggered Article 50 in March 2017, beginning a complex and lengthy negotiation process to determine the terms of its exit.
The UK officially left the EU on January 31, 2020, marking the end of a 47-year membership and entering a transition period that concluded on December 31, 2020, to establish new post-Brexit relations.
