What is the proper name of the UK? Is it England, or Britain, or what? Well heck, I am forgetting to list Ireland, Scotland, Wells, etc. I bet Klahanie of http://klahanie.blogspot.com could answer these questions. Here is a map of the United Kingdom:
The Map below shows all the areas that were once controlled by the United Kingdom. In other words, it is a map of their kingdom. Now, they don't control near as much but at one time, they were an empire!
Well, that is jut a little geography lesson for today. I probably didn't post anything that you didn't already know. Any additions or corrections will be gladly accepted. Now, you all have a great day where ever you are, you hear?
Always took UK to mean United Kingdom, with the various ones in it. What i've wondered is why use Britain instead of England?
ReplyDeleteBritain and England mean the same thing, the home country. Where as the United Kingdom is all the areas controlled by England. At least that is the way I understand it.
