he United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, generally called the United Kingdom or the UK, is a sovereign state north west of mainland Europe. It consists of the nations of England, Wales and Scotland, which occupy the island of Great Britain, and the province of Northern Ireland on the island of Ireland. It attained its current form in 1922 after most of Ireland was granted independence (although the current name 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was not adopted until 1927), but its origins can be traced back at least to 1603, when England and Scotland came to be ruled by a single monarch (James I of England and VI of Scotland). England and Scotland were formally united under a single parliament, forming the United Kingdom of Great Britain, on 1 May 1707.[1]
