2000
[Aberrant] Second-quarter financial reports indicate worldwide economic improvement. The upswing marks the beginning of the largest sustained period of economic growth and prosperity in world history. The UN drops its freeze of the currency markets, and most nations of Western and Central Europe agree to the adoption of the euro currency, linking much of Europe into one economic entity. The United Kingdom declines entry into the European Union.

I’m not sure what enabled the Euroskeptics to carry the day in the Trinity Universe’s UK, but as a result of their triumph, by 2008, the UK will be a declining backwater.
