The Difference Between Great Britain, United Kingdom, and England

This is a quick 5-minute video that explains the difference between Great Britain, United Kingdom, and England, along with the Commonwealth and British Territories – mixed with some history!

I’m sure that we, as political science students, have mixed the terms Great Britain and United Kingdom in many of their essays (I hope I’m not the only one) and now I finally understand which term to use in which context! Watching this video reminded me of how great the British Empire used to be. There are still eons of mini-islands and cities that are considered British Territories or Dependencies…in addition to the Commonwealth around the world.

How many people in the English-speaking world do you think actually already knew this difference?

Enjoy.
