Great Britain Tours
Great Britain also known
as Britain, is an island
situated to the
north-west of
Continental Europe. It
is the ninth largest
island in the world and
the largest island in
Europe. With a
population of about 62
million people in
mid-2010, it is the
third most populous
island in the world,
after Java (Indonesia)
and Honshū (Japan). It
is surrounded by over
1,000 smaller islands
and islets. The island
of Ireland lies to its
west. Politically, Great
Britain also refers to
the island itself
together with a number
of surrounding islands,
which constitute the
territory of England,
Scotland and Wales.
All of the island is
territory of the
sovereign state of the
United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern
Ireland, and most of the
United Kingdom's
territory is in Great
Britain. Most of
England, Scotland, and
Wales are on the island
of Great Britain, as are
their respective capital
cities: London,
Edinburgh, and Cardiff.
The Kingdom of Great
Britain resulted from
the political union of
the kingdoms of England
and Scotland with the
Acts of Union 1707 on 1
May 1707 under Queen
Anne. In 1801, under a
new Act of Union, this
kingdom merged with the
Kingdom of Ireland to
create the United
Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland. After the
Irish War of
Independence (1919–1921)
most of Ireland seceded
from the Union, which
then became the United
Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland.
