Americans sometimes use the names United Kingdom and Great Britain interchangeably. What is the actual difference?
Answer Great Britain refers to England, Wales, and Scotland
To put it simply, the "United Kingdom" is a political term, while "Great Britain" is a geographic one. The former refers to the collective countries of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in their political union, while the latter refers only to the physical island of Britain itself, which contains England, Wales and Scotland.
