Great Britain—Will the UK Really Split?
The hottest topic these days must be Scotland's independence referendum on September 18 in the UK. The whole world is paying attention because its outcome will have a significant impact globally. Let's briefly talk about Scotland's history. Over three hundred years ago, Scotland was an independent country. Later, it was forcibly conquered by England, and after the queen was killed, the United Kingdom of Great Britain—Britain—was established. Scotland accounts for one-third of the total area of the UK and eight percent of its population. If it really splits, the impact on the UK would be considerable, and the world would have to adjust significantly to Britain's division. I think it probably won't split! A newly independent country would have many aspects that need to start anew, which is very difficult.

Hehe, the more chaotic the EU is, the more development capacity China has. The United States cannot fully deal with China right now. The Ukraine issue is already bothering the US enough, and now with Scotland coming up, the US hardly even has time to pee.
Uh, Britain's influence has long declined, and this is an indisputable fact. If there is further division domestically, Britain's national fortune will be in jeopardy. (By the way, that British terrorist from the ISS has already shamed Britain internationally.)
