I always confuse England with Britain or United Kingdom. Let's google!
Britain and Ireland (British Isles):
- Two large islands just northwest of the European mainland
- Comprises of United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland
- Includes the British Crown dependencies of the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK):
- Constitutional monarchy comprising most of the British Isles
- Comprises of four constituent nations : England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
- The capital and largest city of the UK is London
- Republic of Ireland is a completely separate country to the United Kingdom
England:
- Largest of the four “home nations” that make up the UK
- With almost 52 million inhabitants ( roughly 90% of the total population of the UK)
- Large cities i.e. London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, and York.
OK! Done! Confused No More!
