Guest. The union of Scotland and England in 1707 created a state called Great Britain.
The United Kingdom came into being in 1801 when Ireland joined with Great Britain hence " The United Kindom of Great Britain and Ireland". When Ireland became Independent, the U.K. held on to six counties, and the title changed to The Uk of GB plus NI.
The Group of islands are geographically known as The British Isles and the term has no political significance.
Where is this incorrect?
