Canada plus Britain - How are they connected?
Canada was a British possession from the 1700s until 1861, when it was granted independence. Canada remained bound to Great Britain by commerce and by military treaties. Canada is part of the Commonwealth of Nations. The King or Queen of England is the monarch of Canada (but has no real authority there). The Queen appoints a Governor General (viceroy) as her representative in Canada and a Lieutenant Governor represents the Queen within each of Canada's provinces.
What are facts about the Queen of England?
The last Queen of England was Queen Anne who became Queen of Great Britain on May 1st 1707 after the union of England and Scotland.
Why do people in England think that there is such a thing since 1707 as the Queen or King of England?
Are you referring to the Act of Union 1707 between England and Scotland, forming Great Britain? If so, the monarchs since then have been the King/Queen of England, just as they have been the King/Queen of Scotland - England and Scotland did not cease to exist when the statute came into effect. This is the equivalent of our current Queen, Elizabeth II, being the Queen of Great Britain and of, among others, Australia and Canada. Another example would be to consider the Queen as the Queen of Devon and of Nottinghamshire, because both Devon and Nottinghamshire are in Great Britain (it's just that we don't tend to refer to the monarchy on that scale).
