What countries make up Great Britain in the Olympics?
This is always a confusing topic for me too. Here’s what i’ve found. the UNITED KINGDOM (UK) is a group of islands – The biggest island is called Great Britain and is divided into England Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is also a part of the United Kingdom but it’s actually part of the land mass of the REPUBLIC OF IRELAND but is separated from it by a border. There are many tiny islands that also make up part of the UK. To summarize – the UK = Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) + Northern Ireland + other tiny islands around Great Britain… here are some links so that you can see a picture of it all http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_King…
