Thanks for the info, but was aware of it through personal thinking. It's quite obvious you know- mere hearing the name: independent kingdoms that united

Great Britain is same as United Kingdom (UK)
There are 4 countries that make up the UK or Great Britain.
1.England
2.Scotland
3.Northern Ireland.
4.Wales

We use to have Northern, Western and Eastern regions in Nigeria, same as what we have in UK.


Compare it to Nigeria
1.England = Western region
2.Scotland = Northern region
3.Northern Ireland = Southern region
4.Wales = Eastern region

Great Britain is not the same as UK.
GB is Scotland, England and Wales
UK is Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Ne'er call an Eireannach (Irish) British, you might get your head whacked. The Scots and Welsh are still a bit permissive of it.

United kingdom contains Great Britain and Northern Ireland. UK is the United kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I hope that helps. You can check the Venn diagram above for clarification.
