What is the
difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom?
"England" is sometimes, wrongly, used in reference to the
whole United Kingdom, the entire island of Great Britain (or simply Britain),
or indeed the British Isles. This is not only incorrect but can cause offence
to people from other parts of the UK. (See nationality of the British people).

The diverse history of England, Scotland and Wales has led to very
different cultural traditions; The Scots and Welsh have right to feel aggrieved
whenever the term 'English' is used wrongly, to mean all three.
The name United Kingdom refers to the
union of what were once four separate countries: England, Scotland, Wales and
Ireland (though most of Ireland is now independent).
