What two islands does the UK consist of?
You can look at that in two different ways, but in either case the United Kingdom does not consist of two islands. One way is to say that there are many small islands that are part of the United Kingdom, so that is far more than two. In the other way, you could be thinking of just the two large islands of Britain and Ireland. However, in that case, only a small part of the island of Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, not all of it, so again it is wrong to say it consists of two islands. So whatever way you look at it, the United Kingdom does not consist of two islands.
What is the United Kingdom and when was it formed?
The United Kingdom was formed in 1707 when England and Scotland united their parliments. Both countries had shared a monarch since 1603 when King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England. At this period in time Wales was also considered a part of England (this is the reason that they are not represented on the Union Flag). It wasn't until 1800 that Ireland joined the union and in 1922 what is now called the Republic of Ireland withdrew from the union leaving Northern Ireland still in the union. Currently the UK consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the official name of the UK is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

What is the old name of England?
England does not have another name.England is one of three countries (the other two being Wales and Scotland) that make up the island called Great Britain. Great Britain and part of the north of the island of Ireland, known as Northern Ireland, make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.Incidentally, Great Britain is not called 'Great' because it is a powerful or wonderful country (even though it IS a wonderful country!). It was originally called 'Great' Britain to differentiate it from simply 'Britain' on the north coast of France when that area was owned by the British. Nowadays that area is still called 'Bretagne' by the French - or, in English, 'Britanny'. Here, as well as speaking French, they also speak Breton, an ancient language similar to Cornish or Welsh as spoken in Great Britain (in Cornwall and Wales).Americans often call Great Britain or the United Kingdom 'England' but this is incorrect and a bit of an insult to the Welsh and Scottish.The 'British Isles' consist of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the independent Republic of Ireland and many other islands in the area including the Channel Islands and Man.
