Where when and why do the countries of the United Kingdom get together?
In 1707 England and Scotland signed the Act of Union whereby they agreed to unite to create a new country to be called Great Britain with the parliament based in London and a shared monarch. In 1800 Ireland joined the union to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1920 Ireland split into Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland and Southern Ireland left the United Kingdom in 1922 to become a separate country again.
What countries were created when the United Kingdom was formed?
The only country created would be the United Kingdom itself. Its constituent countries already existed before the creation of the United Kingdom. Since it was first created, there have been some changes. The last of those was in 1922, when as a result of the partition of Ireland and its independence, Northern Ireland was created and remained part of the United Kingdom, while what is now the Republic of Ireland left the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom did not create Northern Ireland though. It now consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Which kingdoms were united to form Great Britain?
None. Great Britain is an island, so it is a physical entity, not a political one. The island existed long before any kingdoms were created, so no kingdoms united to create it. On it are the three countries: England, Scotland and Wales. They, along with Northern Ireland, form the United Kingdom, but Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland, so it is not part of Great Britain.....The Kingdoms of Scotland and England joined together in 1603 to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1801, Ireland was incorporated to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1922, 26 counties of Ireland became independent and called themselves Eire (now the Republic of Ireland). Since then, the country has been known at the United Nations as 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'.

The island of Bermuda is acolony of what nation?
Bermuda was settled by the Kingdom of England (which, it should be noted, included Wales as a principality) in 1609 (officially in 1612). When that merged with the Kingdom of Scotland in 1707 to create the Kingdom of Great Britain, Bermuda became British. When Ireland was officially incorporated within the union in 1800, creating the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, it remained British. In 1927, following most of Ireland becoming the Irish Free State, and before its becoming completely independent in 1937, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Bermuda remained British. Today Bermuda remains an overseas territory (ie. colony) of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It should be noted that its law is based on English law, and its real attachment is with England. If the SNP follow through successfully with its promise to take Scotland into independence, Scotland will not take a share of Bermuda, which would revert, presumably, to being an English colony...even if the rump state is referred to as the United Kingdom of England and Northern Ireland.
When did the United Kingdom become a organized nation?
On 1 May 1707, the Kingdom of Great Britain was created by the political union of the Kingdom of England (which included Wales) and the Kingdom of Scotland. Almost a century later, the Kingdom of Ireland, already under English control by 1691, merged with the Kingdom of Great Britain to form the United Kingdom with the passing of the Act of Union 1800. This was a set of complementary Acts which merged the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. It consists of two complementary Acts by the British and Irish parliaments, which were passed on 2 July 1800 and 1 August 1800, respectively. The union was made effective on 1 January 1801. The Irish Act of Union was repealed in 1962, but its British counterpart remained in force until 1983.
