On What Date did England cease being a Sovereign Country?

Question

England became part of Great Britain, and then of the United Kingdom (UK). When did England cease being an independent sovereign country?

Answer 1

I was going to say 1707 for the UK, but then I saw your question of England becoming part of the Great Britain first. Good question! Any English people around that can answer that?  hmmm... According the evil Wikipedia, 1800.

Answer 2

England has always been part of Great Britain.  Great Britain is the name of the island.

Answer 3

England joined with Scotland and became Great Britain on the coronation of James I on 25 July 1603.

However, this does not mean that England ceased to be a sovereign nation.  Even though England and Scotland shared monarchs, they had independent laws and were only united dynastically.  They remained separate nations until 1 May 1707, when the United Kingdom of Great Britain was formed.  This was a single political entity and as of that date, England ceased being a sovereign nation.

Hope that helps.
