Abstract:
The privileged relationship between Britain and Europe was a complex issue that has been discussed over the centuries. The United Kingdom has never sought to establish relations with the other continent and this isolationist strategy has made it further from the proposal of any European association. However, Western European countries invited Great Britain to become a member of the European Community, but this offer was subsequently refused and, when it decided to join the European Union, the request was voted by France. Great Britain became a member of this project in 1973. Moreover, this British membership of this community did not stop definitively; it is described as a complex phenomenon that is still being discussed today.
