Best Answer

No. The British Isles are a collection of islands off the coast of mainland Europe. It is a geographical term, not a country. Great Britain is the largest of these islands, comprising the countries of England, Scotland and Wales. Together with Northern Ireland, these three countries form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly referred to as the United Kingdom or the UK. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland, which also contains the Republic of Ireland. The island of Ireland is included when referring to the British Isles. The Republic of Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom.
