Nafta is considered by many to be president Regan's biggest legacy for better or worse. Tarrifs between Canada, Mexico and the US were eliminated as one of the biggest free trades zones in the world was created.

In europe the european counter part was also being created, and Thatcher saw that UK had a choice of going it alone, or joining the EU. She decided to take a third option and through a charm offensive managed to get the UK into Nafta dispite the agreement being created soley for north ameircan countries. Dispite being the lone odd ball of the pact the UK remains a member.

But this wasn't set in stone, Reagan could have failed in his effort to create Nafta, the UK could have chosen to join the EU. What would have happened if the UK was a member of the EU instead of a member of Nafta?
