Abstract: Brexit is one of the main international events of the twenty-first century. Although as a process it was finalized in 2021, there is still curiosity about its causes. The purpose of this article is to specify the main concerns towards the European Union that led the Britons to vote for Brexit. For realization of the research were used qualitative methods, characterized by the collection of data from the bibliography and internet sources related to the United Kingdom, the EU and the Brexit process. The research results show that since its membership in the European Economic Community in 1973, the UK has had contradictions with certain EU policies. But, immigration was the biggest concern and the main factor that led the British people to vote for Brexit. The conclusions aim to increase information about the Brexit process and factors that had a great impact on the British people’s vote for Brexit.
