The United Kingdom was formed in 1707 when England and Scotland united their parliments. Both countries had shared a monarch since 1603 when King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England. At this period in time Wales was also considered a part of England (this is the reason that they are not represented on the Union Flag). It wasn't until 1800 that Ireland joined the union and in 1922 what is now called the Republic of Ireland withdrew from the union leaving Northern Ireland still in the union. Currently the UK consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the official name of the UK is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
