“But I have a question - and not that I don’t think Brexit is a good thing anyway - but didn’t a common market like the EU diminish the historical reasons for war?”
While that certainly was the intent, and it did work well for a while, having a common market is a lot different than having to live under a foreign, unelected, unaccountable, left-wing dictatorship based in Brussels.

So they went too far....too bad.
