What is difference between great Britain England the united kingdom and the british commonwealth?

Great Britain refers to England, Scotland and Wales. When Northern Ireland is added, the country then gets its full, official name of 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' and is represented as such at the United Nations, where the UK is a permanent member of the Security Council. Citizens of these four places are British in international law. The status of these four parts of the UK is similar to individual States within the United States. The British Commonwealth has changed its name and is now called the Commonwealth of Nations. It is comprised of 53 independent countries, most of which were once part of the British Empire. 17 of these countries still choose to have Queen Elizabeth II as their Head of State.

What was the great british empire?

The British Empire is another word for the commonwealth, which today is a group of nations that have colonised with Great Britain for one reason or another. Some reasons were for alliances, others for resources and help from Britain. Other countries had no choice and were annexed by Britain. +++ There is a major difference between the British Empire and the Commonwealth (capital 'C'): although the Commonwealth countries are former Imperial territories they rule themselves with the British Sovereign as titular Head of State. It is therefore an association of friendly, independent nations and although once British colonies they did NOT "colonise with" (whatever that means) Great Britain.
