Maps
in the News: Should They Stay or Should They Go?
British
voters are deciding today whether to leave or remain in the European Union (EU). Polls are showing that the voters are fairly
evenly split on this “Brexit” (British + exit) vote. The EU is a political and economic union of
28 member states using standardized trade, immigration, and monetary laws.
The
European Union was officially established in 1993. However, Europe has a long history of unions
and large empires. The Washington Post has created this cartographic analysis of the history
of the control of Europe, including a map of the current members of the
European Union (above, click to enlarge).
