  • England= One country, along with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, in the UK, or Britain

    Great Britain= A geographical term for the largest of the many British Isles.

    yanks can never get that right, the UK was formed in 1707 with the unification act between England and Scotland, England having already conquered Wales. Northern Ireland is the 6 counties that the UK still hold on Ireland, the other 26 being in the Republic of Ireland.

  • @xanderdoe The United Kingdom is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Britain is England, Scotland and Wales. Britain is an island. The United Kingdom is a treaty.

  • The engaylish should be eliminated from earth.

  • Any 1 who wants 2 argue about GREAT britian MSG me if u feel so stringly

  • I'm sorry that every 1 feels this way about England but just remember we would not be able 2 understand ur complaints with out the English language BRITANIA RULES THE WAVES

  • @plushcartoon but that would be completely pointless.

  • @ronan32 too bad that will never happen, but can i ask why you hope that? as mch158 said, no one alive today engaged in colonization, and therefore never committed any of the terrible acts the British colonialists did. There is no reason for you to have such hatred. As an American, I can hate the British for what their ANCESTORS did to MY ANCESTORS
