When the narrow majority of the British voted to leave the EU in a
referendum in 2016, not only the citizens of neighbouring European
countries shook their heads. Why did a nation believe in the age of
international interdependence of its economy and politics that it
could single-handedly achieve a renewed ascent into the circle of
great powers by gaining national sovereignty? Volker Berghahn
places Brexit in a long-term historical development, without which
the traditions and emotions that surfaced in the heated debate of
the last four years cannot be understood. It shows that the roots
of Brexit lie in the two world wars triggered by Germany and the
resulting economic and political decline of Great Britain in the
20th century.
