None. Great Britain is an island, so it is a physical entity, not a political one. The island existed long before any kingdoms were created, so no kingdoms united to create it. On it are the three countries: England, Scotland and Wales. They, along with Northern Ireland, form the United Kingdom, but Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland, so it is not part of Great Britain.....The Kingdoms of Scotland and England joined together in 1603 to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1801, Ireland was incorporated to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1922, 26 counties of Ireland became independent and called themselves Eire (now the Republic of Ireland). Since then, the country has been known at the United Nations as 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'.
