It is England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. With the Act of Union 1707, the independent states of England and Scotland, having been in personal union since 1603, agreed to a political union as the Kingdom of Great Britain. \n\nThe Act of Union 1800 united the Kingdom of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland, which had been gradually brought under English control between 1169 and 1691, to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Independence for the now Republic of Ireland in 1922 brought the partition of the island of Ireland, with six of the nine counties of the province of Ulster remaining within the UK, which then changed to the current name in 1927. Wales, under the control of English monarchs from the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284, became part of the Kingdom of England by the Laws in Wales Act 1535 but is normally considered to be a kingdom in its own right having its own legislature.

I think it would be good to split the union especially now since its the 300th anniversary in 2007. I dont want to start arguments about countries which would survive outside of it or which countries support others. It is a myth that England supports the neighbouring countries though. Sure; Scotland for example is given a hefty supplemet every year to look after itself but only from money the UK (NOT England - contrary to popular belief) has earned ie from oil (which is actually Scottish anyway)and tourism - which all nations in the kingdom earn. Please dont continue flaming or anything. I havent said anything to insult anyone and everything I have said is fact. btw Robespierre made the classic fault assuming Wales and Scotland were in England. They are not and never have been, I strongly suggest you don't say that when you are in one of those smaller UK nations. You may be risking your health ;)

Another homework question.....how about looking in your book?  You don't provide a time frame or what PART of EUROPE to which you are referring.  You can get assistance if you direct your question more narrowly.

Heck! I left the UK at the end of the 'Thatcher Years' and I thought that was bad, I recently visited the UK and I wanted to cry. The country I was once proud of, and what I wanted to show off to my children has become a laughing stock, and we have  Blair and his cronies to thank for that. England has lost everything under Labour.

Birmingham and Manchester are good starts. Both contributed greatly to the Industrial Revolution in GB. The Canal system was a major contributing factor.

Scotland is, 400 years after "unification" still solidly independent.  Federalizing the British state strengthens it by making it a voluntary union, rather than a remnant of empire (my ancestors were organizers of the '45 rebellion.  *I* haven't forgotten how the UK was formed, which means that others haven't also).

That is a heck of a question.  First of all, that covers 150 years of history!!!\n\nSo the answer is, lots happened!\n\nI can only do this for you...\n\nI hope you know what years you are looking for! (If not, you'll have to cross check by typing in "Elizabethan and Jacobean" and seeing what years they were in. There's only so much I can do!)

Well it was basically a decade of the rise of republicanism. It was where not much progress happened. IT kinda stagnated. It was dominated by scandals as well such as the teapot dome scandal. At the end, it was when the depression started.
