Best Answer

England has existed as a unified entity since the 10th century; the union between England and Wales, begun in 1284 with the Statute of Rhuddlan, was not formalized until 1536 with an Act of Union; in another Act of Union in 1707, England and Scotland agreed to permanently join as Great Britain; 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 northern Irish counties remained part of the United Kingdom as Northern Ireland and the current name of the country, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, was adopted in 1927.

Which kingdoms were united to form Great Britain?

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'.
