The Island of Britain contains England, Scotland, Wales, and some would also specify Cornwall, while others would say it is part of England.

In 1707 England and Scotland were formally united into a kingdom variously caked the Kingdom of Great Britain, Great Britain, or the United Kingdom of Great Britain. The Act of Union dated 2nd July 1800, united the Kingdom of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland, creating the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. With the creation of the Irish Free State, that became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The short form of the name of this state is the United Kingdom.
