That's a VERY complex question but essentially it's down to politics and war.
The UK is made up of 4 previously sovereign countries and throughout the course of British (and Irish) history the centuries have brought about the situation that we currently find ourselves in, i.e. England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland form what is formally known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
It's probably beyond the scope of this part of wiki to answer in any great details but it is a very interesting story, and there are countless websites deveoted to this very topic should you wish to know the story of each country, as they differ greatly from one another.
