Why is the U.K. also called Britain?
Because people don't know that they are different entities. This is complex..... The country of England consists of England and Wales (Wales was never a country in its own right). Great Britain was formed when an Act of Union united England and Scotland. At that time England ruled Ireland, and later another Act of Union united Great Britain and Ireland in what was then known as The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Much of Ireland later gained its independence and what was left in the union meant that the name had to be changed to The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So, the term The United Kingdom, or 'the UK' includes Ireland and Great Britain or 'Britain' doesn't. However, many people use the terms interchangeably not realising that distinctions involved.
