THE RESULT OF THE STAFF'S HARD WORK:
GREAT BRITAIN


OUR STAFF FOUND OUT A LOT OF IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING INFORMATION.
FIRSTLY YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT :

Great Britain is an island in northern europe. The UK  is situated in nort-west of the European Continent between the Atlantic ocean and the North Sea.The island is divided from European continent by the Chanel Tunnel.Usually Great Britain may also refer to the island which comprises England, Scotland and Wales. The island and part of the Ireland (the northern part) together form  the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Union was founded with:
  • "Acts of union 1707" between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland
  • in 1801 a new act of union with the Kingdom of Ireland founded the United Kingdom  of Great Britain and Ireland. But most  of Ireland seceded from the Union after the irish war of  indipendence. Consequently the union became the United Kingdom of Great britain and Northern Ireland.

SO REMEMBER THAT GREAT BRITAIN IS THE UNIQUE NAME FOR THE ISLAND CONTAINING THE CONTIGOUS NATIONS OF:
                                                
  • SCOTLAND
  • ENGLAND
  • WALES
  • NORTHERN IRELAND
THE NAME "GREAT BRITAIN" WAS USED ONLY AFTER 1603, WHEN KING JAMES I NAMED HIMSELF THE KING OF GREAT BRITAIN. NOWADAYS, AS WE SAID, ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, WALES AND NORTHERN IRELAND TOGETHER FORM THE COUNTRY CALLED "THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND", BUT YOU CAN  SIMPLY SAY "THE UNITED KINGDOM".
