Great Britain is England and the United Kingdom is the totality of the five separate countries that make up the UK - England, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and Northern Ireland; hence, they are United.
Usually those two names, GB and UK are used synonymously, but that is the basic difference between the two.

It's title is...
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
England has existed as a unified entity since the 10th century; the union between England and Wales, begun in 1284 with the Statute of Rhuddlan, was not formalized until 1536 with an Act of Union; in another Act of Union in 1707, England and Scotland agreed to permanently join as Great Britain; the legislative union of Great Britain and Ireland was implemented in 1801, with the adoption of the name the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland; the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921 formalized a partition of Ireland; six northern Irish counties remained part of the United Kingdom as Northern Ireland and the current name of the country, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, was adopted in 1927

the two are often appeals for issues you ask for selfishly or ought to preserve your self. The Lottery costs you a around 70 cents for each dollar of return on the long term, and it has in basic terms materialistic reward. Prayer doesn t value you something, the outcomes are based on the request s settlement with the proper divine plan, and it could have eternal reward. The Lottery will break your economic company account, yet making an investment in prayer builds your heavenly account -- in case you have known the deposit that s waiting to take you out of the crimson.
