Which country left the European Union in 2020?

I live in the US and would like to understand this better. Good question!

It was the UK, and it is highly suspect on that word "voluntarily". Some Countries that make up this UK voted heavily in remaining in the EU, but were forced out anyway. It has brought on more heated debates.

luckycatfay, Norway never joined the EU...

Player #19942154, I live in the UK and would like to understand this better too.

rayvan, England was never an empire. It was the British Empire - and Britain is made up of more than one country!

TRUE CANADIAN Laurel, Margaret thatcher would not have supported Brexit, nor Blair. Boris Johnson didn't believe in it either and famously only chose to back brexit as a popularity stunt. Neither he nor Michael Hove anticipated winning the referendum. There is famous footage of them looking sickly white and genuinely horrified when they heard the result.

Player #19942154, If the UK public itself had understood it better, then the Brexit result may have been different. The look on some Politicians faces when the result was announced was just priceless.

Player #4821096, it's 4! England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

TRUE CANADIAN Laurel, Australia are still a part of the Monarchy.

Player #19942154, I live in the UK and don't understand what we did.

Frank, it is three countries combined to form GB
