What is the difference between the British Isles(岛), Britain, the United Kingdom and England? These terms are so often confused(弄混淆) by us.
The British isles is made up of two large 1 : one is called Ireland and the other 2 .Britain, or Great Britain, is the 3 of these two islands, and it is 4 into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.
The United Kingdom is that 5 of the British Isles ruled over by the 6 .It is made up of Scotland, Wales and England, that is, the 7 of Britain, and also about one-sixth of Ireland, the Northern part.The 8 of Ireland is self-governing.The 9 name of the United Kingdom is 10 “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.
11 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the most 12 of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 13 “England” and “English” when they 14 “Britain” and “British” .This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 15 .The Scots in particular are very 16 of their separate nationality: they have their own legal (法律的) system, and 17 of their internal affairs (内部事务) are 18 by special Scottish department.The Welsh too do not regard 19 as English , and have a culture and even a 20 of their own.
Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1 801, but for forty years the “Irish 21 ” was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom.22 Ireland is divided into two : Northern Ireland still 23 to the United Kingdom, and in 1922 the rest of Ireland 24 to found an Irish Free State, later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.
The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as British, and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations (英联邦).Unlike the major Commonwealth countries it did not lift a finger to 25 British in the Second World War and now wants the whole of Ireland to be a republic.
