The Referendum on Scottish Independence 2014
The 2014 Scottish independence referendum was a vote held on September 18, 2014, allowing residents of Scotland to decide whether the country should become an independent nation or remain part of the United Kingdom. The main question was, "Should Scotland be an independent country?" The campaign involved debates on economic, political, and social implications. Ultimately, approximately 55% voted to stay in the UK, while 45% supported independence. The result maintained Scotland's status within the UK but sparked ongoing discussions about future autonomy and independence.
