Difference Between The Unitedkingdom, Great Britain, And England? by K114: 1:57am On Sep 09, 2013
The United Kingdom is a country that consists of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In fact, the
official name of the country is "United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."
Great Britain is the name of the island northwest
of France and east of Ireland that consists of
three somewhat autonomous regions: England,
Wales and Scotland.
Therefore, England is part of Great Britain,
which is part of the United Kingdom. The U.K.
includes England, Wales, Scotland, and
Northern Ireland. England, Wales, Scotland, and
Northern Ireland are not independent countries
but the United Kingdom is. The remaining
portion of the island of Ireland (that which is
not
the U.K.'s Northern Ireland) is an independent
country called the Republic of Ireland (Eire).
