Back in 2016, 51.89% of the voting public ticked a box in favour of leaving the EU and then-Prime Minister David Cameron resigned.
The new British government, led by Prime Minister Theresa May, who formally notified the EU of the UK's wish to leave the union in March, 2017, began a lengthy process of negotiations.
After significant setbacks, largely caused by the Conservatives losing their majority in parliament after the June, 2017 election, Britain finally left the EU on January 31, 2020.
