By Warren Olney • • 1 min readAfter hundreds of years of almost continuous warfare, 28 nations created the European Union. Now, the UK is becoming the first to go back on its own. The British exit, or "Brexit," began today, and nobody thinks the next two years are going to be pretty. Scotland might even declare independence from the UK.
