To put it simply, the British Isles refers to England, Scotland, and Wales, all three of which are on the same island of Great Britain, and there is an island of Ireland next to them. Historically, there were originally four countries, but then England rose up and swallowed Wales first, and then Cromwell destroyed Scotland during the bourgeois revolution, and then occupied Ireland. In the future, Ireland became independent, but the British occupied the six northern counties and did not leave, which was called Northern Ireland.
The full name of the United Kingdom is now the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which includes England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and a number of other colonies.
The English were conquistadors, so they thought highly of themselves, while the people in the other three places were not used to it, especially Scotland (needless to say, the AK is coming). Because Scotland's long history is no less than that of England, and there are quite tangled problems between the two countries due to wars and ethnic regional policies, the Scots have always been dissatisfied with the English. This can be seen in some literary works, such as Sir Griffith in Jules Verne's "Captain Grant's Children", and others, who are traditional Scots and disdain to be compared with the English.
Others, such as football, because modern football originated in England, they have been given the privilege by FIFA to form teams in different regions, namely England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, for example, Ryan Giggs will eventually force Wales, even if they cannot appear on the international stage, they will not go to England.
It is recommended to watch the film "Braveheart", which is about the Scots rebelling against England.

First of all, Britain is not made up of three parts, you have less Wales.
The United Kingdom of greatest Britain and Northern Ireland
The island of Great Britain consists of three parts, England, Scotland, and Wales, which is actually basically an island, and because the Chinese were not familiar with him during the Qing Dynasty, it was called the "British Isles".
England covers an area of 130,000 square kilometres, making up most of the island of Great Britain. England is divided into 43 counties, Scotland and its many surrounding islands, covering a total area of 10,000 square kilometres. Scotland has 29 districts and 3 special jurisdictions, while Wales has 22 districts.
Wales covers an area of more than 20,000 square kilometres.
Northern Ireland covers an area of 10,000 square kilometres, across the Irish Sea from the island of Great Britain. Northern Ireland has 26 districts.
The Scottish and Welsh Parliaments and their executive bodies are fully responsible for local affairs, while foreign affairs, defence, general economic and monetary policy, employment policy, and social security remain under the control of the government. Also known as Greater London, London has 32 separate boroughs and one city of London. The District Councils are responsible for the main affairs of each borough, but work in coordination with the Mayor of Greater London and the Council on matters relating to the whole of London.
Both Scotland and Wales were effectively forcibly occupied by England. However, the Scots ostensibly joined as equal partners, witnessing them firsthand: King James VI of Scotland becoming James I of England (although some of them were still angry, and the current Queen was called Elizabeth II).
The Scots never had Elizabeth I). They have been, and still are, independent judicial and educational systems and a completely different cultural tradition.
And the relationship between England and Wales has never been one of equal partners. At the beginning of the 15th century, Owen Grundall rose up against the colonists. After the rebellion was extinguished, the duchy became a dependency of England.
Henry VIII was pleased to repeal the punitive laws prohibiting Welsh from owning land in England (which had been introduced after the Glendall Revolt), but, despite the Welsh blood in his veins, he still required those who held public office in Wales to use English. The Welsh continued to use their own language internally, despite the constraints. As a result, it was estimated that three out of four Welshmen were still willing to speak Welsh until the eighties of the 19th century.
Given this factor, they should have been more likely, not less likely, to be their own masters. The key problem, however, was that they had no capital comparable to Edinburgh, nor did they have an independent judiciary, education, or (until the time the Protestant doctrine was introduced, but by that time it was too late) religious institutions.

You can go and see the movie "Braveheart".
It explains the contradictions between Scotland and England.
-
Sweet Red Syrup is so good!! Admire.
-
Go and watch the movie Braveheart to know that the Scottish and English people are originally two different peoples, and there have been constant disputes in history, the hatred between the two nations has not been completely eliminated, and the public opinion base when they were merged into the United Kingdom was not very solid, so now Scotland has always had the will to become independent. Coupled with Tony Blair's decentralization after coming to power, the voice of Scottish independence is getting louder and louder, and even many people in England want Scottish independence. I have a friend who has just been to the UK this year, and according to him, none of the Scots he met admitted that he was British, but Scottish, and they all stressed that Scotland was an independent country, which shows that there is a tendency for the United Kingdom to secede, but I don't think it will be in the near future.
Not to mention Northern Ireland, where the problem of the IRA has not yet been fully resolved.
-
Scotland and Northern Ireland are both dominions of the United Kingdom, historically because the Scots are descendants of the Celts, and the English are descendants of the Anglo-Saxons, so Scotland has always been disobedient to the rule of England, and the other is religious beliefs, the state religion of the United Kingdom is Protestantism, and the religion of Scotland is Catholicism, so there is a conflict.
-
Scotland and England and Wales are the British Isles, plus Northern Ireland, and the actual core of the United Kingdom is these three places.

No, didn't someone say this yesterday?

The United Kingdom is a member of the European Union. The European Union is the abbreviation for the European Union. In the early days of the European Union, Britain was too proud to join the European Union, but due to the effects of the two world wars, the British Empire declined dramatically, and finally joined the European Union in 1973 as a member state.
At this stage, the European Union uses the euro, and the pound is still in circulation in the UK as a currency.

In the early days of the establishment of the United States, Britain had a large number of colonies in North America, and the relationship between Britain and these colonies at this time was the relationship between the overlord and the colonies. And ethnically speaking, most of the citizens of the United States are descendants of British immigrants, and it can be said that blood is thicker than water (of course, the West does not have this concept) After World War II, with the establishment of American global hegemony, Britain began to become an assistant to the United States, playing the role of a bridge between the United States and Europe.

Relations between the United States and the United Kingdom.
United Kingdom United States Relations refers to the diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and the United States. The relationship between England and the United States has been complicated since 1607, when the United States became England's first long-term colony in North America.
Although Britain and the United States have had many conflicts in history, they also have extremely deep friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries, which is known as the special relationship between Britain and the United States. The relationship between Britain and the United States is still considered to be the "most important bilateral relationship" for the United Kingdom. The United States also views the U.S.-UK relationship as one of the most important and enduring relations between the two countries.
The two countries have close cooperation in the fields of commerce, finance, science and technology, academia, and art, and there are often common military operations and peacekeeping activities between the US and British armies. The United Kingdom and the United States are also each other's largest investors. The two countries also have a close relationship in terms of culture.
On March 12, 2015, the United Kingdom announced its participation in the Chinese-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which was strongly criticized by the United States.
-
The United States was originally a British colony, they belonged to the father-son relationship, and the United States was the son of Britain.

The majority of U.S. nationals are descendants of immigrants from the British Isles. Originated in the United Kingdom. After Bush became the first to become the first in office, the residents of a small town in Britain also held a celebration because Bush's ancestors traveled from this town to North America. The two countries are close friends and good friends.

One is the head of the world's great powers today, and the other is the declining country that dominated the world yesterday and claimed to be the empire on which the sun never sets. And the two are inextricably linked. The United States was a colony of Great Britain.
Most of the early nationals were also descendants of immigrants from the British Isles. After independence, the United States expanded aggressively, and today it is a pole that dominates the world. And Britain became her close friend and good friend.
-
At present, it is a military-strategic alliance.
The relationship between the two countries should be analyzed from a historical point of view, and the United States has a history of more than 200 years, and its population is dominated by immigrants, and most of them come from the United Kingdom, which means that they are of the same ancestry, and as we all know, the United States and Britain both speak English, and the customs are almost identical.
-
Britain is much more of a vassal state of the United States.

Let me use the vernacular. The previous inhabitants of Australia were all exiled from the British, so Australians and British people are the same people. The "Commonwealth" is an organization, the countries here are all related to the United Kingdom, so the supreme rulers of these countries are nominally empresses, but only in name, the country's own internal affairs, politics, are Australia's own ** said, recently Australia also wants to gradually break away from the Commonwealth, become a completely independent country, and even many people support the change of the national flag, the British logo removed.
-
Australia is a member of the Commonwealth, the Queen of England is the head of state of Australia, and the Queen of England sent a governor in Australia to exercise the power of head of state on behalf of the Queen of England, but in fact there is no real power, just a symbol, and the real power is in the hands of the Prime Minister of Australia.
-
In principle, it is a subject state – the current head of state is the Queen of England.
In fact, it is a sovereign and independent state.
-
Now Britain still has a constitutional monarchy, Elizabeth II is the current king, she has no real power, can represent the country in diplomatic activities, the prime minister is appointed by the parliament, the prime minister is responsible to the parliament, the prime minister has executive power.
-
There is a queen, such as Elizabeth II, who is the spiritual leader of most of the British people, and people need faith, and the queen is their spiritual sustenance and ...... faith
-
The king is only the spiritual leader, while the prime minister is the real ruling party.

United Kingdom = England + Scotland + Wales + Northern Ireland (Be sure to add the northern "word", Ireland is a sovereign country, the capital is Wellington, and Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom.) The full name of the United Kingdom is ' Great Britain and the United Kingdom', the United Kingdom is composed of the above four parts, the national structure is a composite system, England is the main body of the British Isles, as if four brothers form a family, because the political and economic center of England - London is there, like England is the boss, but there is something to discuss with us, in sports competitions they can each represent themselves in the competition, as if Hong Kong is part of China but can also participate alone, but can not participate in political activities alone, so like the G20 summit and NATO are participated in the name of the United Kingdom。 This state system was formed as a result of the loneliness of the British Empire after the First World War.
