Nope, Lee......Great Britain.....is England, Scotland and Wales....all by themselves...3 of....

and the


United Kingdom is Great Britain (the three countries list above) and N Ireland

Doesnt Britain own Australia and Newzealand too.

they are part of the commonwealth

im studing about great britain and the northerrn part of ireland is included in it

The proper full title of our country is:

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Any more help and i'd be doing it all for you.

OMG I give up.

Fear not, within a few years the Union will be no more and there will be four separate countries again, oh and probably the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands. I hear Cornwall might want independence too.

Cornwall has always regarded itself as independent anyway..

Same as When i lived in Friesland in north Holland, they had there own dialect and were happy to say they were from Fryslan....

Lets not start on the general opinion, of the Uk's opinion on Cornwall. For those that don't know, its got something to do with inbreeding and people being born with six toes and all that sort of thing.

As you can pretty much guess from the rest of the posts here, United Kingdom means nothing of the sort. Which is nice!

in responseto your question

england is made up from
northern ireland wales scotland but the welsh language being the true british then you have the outer islands north west of scotland all part of the british isles
