Ireland became unified with great Britain by the 1800 Act of Union.
Scotland officially became unified with England and Wales in 1707.
England and Wales had in reality been unified with Scotland since 1603 when James VI of Scotland inherited the English crown becoming known as James 1st.
Wales has never officially become part of the union as it was conquered by war. When the 1st and last true Prince of Wales ( LLewelyn ) was killed in battle, Welsh resistance to the English crown soon faded, and the heir to the English crown has used the title Prince of Wales Ever since.
It is for this reason that Wales is not represented on the Union Flag ( Union Jack ).
When Ireland split in the 1920's, Northern Ireland remained part of the Union.

It first became a unified kingdom in the 17th century when James VI of Scotland was crowned king of England after the death of Elizabeth. He was called James 1 in England and this is the first time the two countries had the same monarch.

Take your pick from :-
1603, death of Elizabeth I, James VI of Scotland inherits her throne and rules England as James I. The two countries still have separate Parliaments, and different systems of law, church, and education. The monarch's powers are different in each country. They are not really unified, but some historians may differ.
1707, Union of the Parliaments, now Britain has a single Parliament in Westminster but Scotland still has its different laws, churches, and universities. They are as unified as they are today, which many people would say is still not really unified.

Now that everyone's satisfied concerning the semantics of the question, can we just say it was in 1800 with the Act of Union and just all get along?????
