Great Britain is just the main island and includes England, Scotland and Wales. The country is now called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and it includes part of the island of Ireland. In the past it used to include all of Ireland and was called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. So I suspect Bede referred to Britain and Ireland.

Why did the US become allies with England in World War 1?

"England isn't a country. We sided with Great Britain." Wrong again. Great Britain is not a country either.

It is like saying "mainland america", it is a geographical term, more commonly mistaken for "the island of Britain", Great Britain being the outlying islands. Only Americans call it Great Britain. NO ONE in the UK calls it Great Britain apart from an atlas which includes all the islands around it.
