The United Kingdom made history on Thursday, when they voted to "Brexit" the European Union, to the shock of many around the world.

The referendum result -- which saw a 33 million voter turn out, with U.K. media outlets reporting a 52 to 48 percent decision in favor of the exit --
was announced early Friday morning, and the British pound hit its lowest level since 1985. Prime Minister David Cameron also resigned.
