Great Britain and the landmass that includes the present-day United States were separated during the last Ice Age, around 12,000 years ago. As glaciers melted, rising sea levels flooded the land bridge that once connected them, leading to the formation of the English Channel. This geological event marked the beginning of the physical separation between the two landmasses.
