Why is UK called the British Isles?

The UK is not called the British Isles. They are two different things. The British Isles consists of the island of Britain, the island of Ireland and the many small islands around those two large islands. The British Isles is a geographical term. The United Kingdom consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. All of the United Kingdom is in the British Isles, but there are many parts of the British Isles, such as the Republic of Ireland and the Isle of Man, that are not part of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is a political entity.


What continent is it UK in?

The United Kingdom is placed on the western edge of the European Continent, although many people from the UK differenciate Europe as a separate entity due to the British Isles being separated from mainland Europe.Part of the confusion also stems from the fact that the British Isles are made up of The Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom ( as a sovereign state), The UK in itself contains 2 countries (England and Scotland), 1 Principality (Wales) and 1 Province (Northern Ireland) - all of which can often cause confusion as to the UK's status both as a sovereign state and as to its continental status/position.Although not every country or 'constituent country' within the British Isles is officially sovereign, the British Isles consist of more 'nations' as such than North America, some people argue that if all of the 'nations' within the British Isles were sovereign, then it could well be seen as having continental status.UK is in European Continent.
