Answer 5

This is always a confusing topic for me too.

Here's what i've found.

the UNITED KINGDOM (UK) is a group of islands -

The biggest island is called Great Britain and is divided into England Scotland and Wales.

Northern Ireland is also a part of the United Kingdom but it's actually part of the land mass of the REPUBLIC OF IRELAND but is separated from it by a border. There are many tiny islands that also make up part of the UK.

To summarize -

the UK = Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) + Northern Ireland + other tiny islands around Great Britain...

here are some links so that you can see a picture of it all

Answer 6

Great Britain, United Kingdom and England is the same country. They are different names for saying the same thing/country..Wales is a state/province not an independant country...

Ireland and Scotland are not part of Great Britain..Just like Canada and the U,S are different countries and not the same one..

Answer 7

Oh Butterfly, you are so WRONG!!!!

Scotland, England and Wales = Great Britain!!

Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland = United Kingdom.

We are countries, not states, within a Kingdom.

Ireland (not Northern Ireland) is a seperate country with it's own Government and currency!!

Please get your facts right before posting on ANY blog!!
