The Brexit Paradox: When an Island Nation Tried to Leave the Continent
Brexit wasn't merely a 2016 referendum-it was the culmination of centuries of British exceptionalism colliding with European integration. While continental Europeans built deep institutions after experiencing devastating wartime losses (France lost 1.5% of its population in WWII, Germany a staggering 9%), Britain's relatively lighter suffering (0.7% population loss) left it with a fundamentally different perspective. For Europeans, integration meant survival; for Britain, protected by the Channel and clinging to imperial dreams, it seemed optional. This fundamental disconnect explains why Franco-German reconciliation became the cornerstone of European unity while Britain remained skeptical. As French politician Maurice Faure bluntly stated in 1957, only America and Russia were truly Great Powers-a reality Britain wasn't yet ready to accept.
