When was the United Kingdom Founded?

Question

Title is self-explanatory.

Answer 1

The legislative union of Great Britain and Ireland was implemented in 1801, with the adoption of the name the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

The Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921 formalized a partition of Ireland.  Six counties in northern Ireland remained with the UK. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was adopted in 1927.

Answer 2

England and Scotland had existed as separate sovereign and independent states with their own monarchs and political structures since the 9th century. The once independent Principality of Wales fell under the control of English monarchs from the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284, but was only formally annexed or "united" with England under the two Laws in Wales Acts of 1535 and 1542. Though the Scottish King, James VI, became King of England as well in 1603, thereby creating a personal union between the kingdoms, England (including Wales) and Scotland remained separate countries until the Treaty of Union was agreed a century later and put into effect by the Acts of Union 1707. The Acts of Union, passed by the Parliaments of England and Scotland respectively, created a political union in the form of a united Kingdom of Great Britain.The Act of Union 1800 united the Kingdom of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland, which had been gradually brought under English control between 1541 and 1691, to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801.

Answer 3

Contrary 2 the answerers b4 me, I think Great Britain was founded in 1707. & I haven't looked @ Wikipaedia yet; I just remember it from 9th grade world history.

+'d - I'm now looking @ the Wiki article on "Great Britain" & clicked onto "Acts of Union 1707." I think this refers 2 the union of England & Scotland, b4 Ireland became part of the U.K. Doesn't say anything about Wales, thought.
