The traditional country of England is more correctly known as England and Wales. The country of Wales having been subsumed into England in the period 1536 - 1542. Scotland and England were united in The United Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707. That kingdom 'lasted' until 1801, when it was replaced with the United Kindom of Great Britain and Ireland. That union lasted until 1922, when the Republic of Ireland was born and the United Kingdom changed its name again.... this time to The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
