Because the archipelago standing of the north-west coast of Europe is entirely dominated by the island of Great Britain, the largest and most populous island in the archipelago.

That said, the name does prompt some controversy from those who object to the "British" title on grounds of the historical belligerence primarily of England. *** THE ISLANDS OF THE ARCHIPELIGO WERE SO NAMED IN THE 19TH CENTURY AT A TIME WHEN THE UNITED KINGDOM WAS MADE UP OF IRELAND, GREAT BRITAIN AND THE VARIOUS SMALLER ISLANDS.
