They didn't. Great Britain is comprised of England, Scotland and Wales. When Northern Ireland is included, the country then gets its full name of 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' which is how it is recognised at the United Nations.

Okay, first of all England didn't really own Ireland. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (which is only a few miles from the Island of Great Britain) had been working together since the 1700's. The UK consisted of Scotland, England, and Ireland at the time. Thinking that King George was the King of the UK, and subsequentally the king of England, Scotland, and Ireland, he would want the best for his people. I mean, Ireland splitting from the UK would be like Texas and Florida splitting from the United States, or Newfoundland and Ontario splitting from Canada.
