What happened at the Brexit referendum

The referendum asked UK citizens whether the country should remain in or leave the European Union, which it had joined in 1973. Turnout was high, and the result showed a narrow majority in favor of leaving, commonly called "Brexit." The vote revealed sharp divisions across regions, generations, and political parties. Prime Minister David Cameron, who had called the referendum and campaigned to remain, resigned shortly afterward. The decision triggered years of negotiations over the terms of withdrawal and future relations with the EU, culminating in the UK's formal exit on 31 January 2020, followed by a transition period ending in December of that year.
