American Reacts to Difference Between the United Kingdom, Great Britain, and England Explained

Hi! I'm an American on a quest to learn more about history, geography, and the universe around us. Today I'm learning about the difference between the UK, Great Britain, and England. As an American, I'm totally clueless when it comes to which countries make up what. So here's to learning the geography of the UK (or Britain)! Also, what's the deal with Ireland?

“I don’t understand while Northern Ireland and not Ireland is part of the UK”

Can of worms.

I’m born n bread British and what I can say I’m thankful for is my family is from Montserrat, a British Colony. When the volcano kicked off on the Soufrière Hills in ‘97 and all the other countries just stood around watching, the UK flew in and rescued a whole heap of people (who wanted rescuing), took them to the UK and gave them a place to live, including my Grandmother so there is something Great about the crown... 🇲🇸

The UK is like 4 siblings on constant rivalry with each other. With one siblings they're above all others. Yet despite the tense friendship. They are always there for each other and need each other.

[charlescurren]

in short. we are English Scottish Welsh or Northern Irish - until someone wants to start a fight and then we all stick together and become "British"

[cutthratjake]

Scotland & Wales dont mind being called British. They object to being called English.

"Oh my gosh, you guys still own all of that?!"
What you really mean is "you guys have to pay to look after all of that".

[grahambrown]

It's not true that we don't like each other.There is a very small minority who do.But the vast majority get on well with each other like no other country.Yes there is an intense rivalry in sport and other areas But threaten us and you will immediately get a united response.

Gibraltar is a city / port that sits at the entrance into the Mediterranean sea and it is a massive strategic base for the royal navy.

[whacko]

For the most part we jokingly fight amoungst ourselves, until an external threat tries to mess with us. Then we unite like no other 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

"I feel like the British Empire is kinda still around today" She's onto us boys!

[darrena]

Those small islands in the British Isles aren’t part of “Great Britain” because Great Britain is the largest island of the British isles.

The US doesn't separate religion and state. The write 'In god we trust' on their money.

[scottwhitworth]

It’s just not that confusing is it .
The United Kingdom OF Great Britain AND Norrhern Ireland

[NauticalCoffin]

It's quite simple to a Brit. There's civilization and there's everything else.

[alexdawson]

The monarch technically has the power to do almost whatever they want, but since the last one who tried to do so had a rather fatal encounter with an axe, they don't try it.
