what makes up the British isles?

Answer 1

"The British Isles is a group of islands off the northwest coast of continental Europe consisting of Great Britain, Ireland, and a number of smaller surrounding islands and islets.[1] The term British Isles is often misunderstood, and is sometimes considered controversial.[2] The term is less common in Ireland than in Great Britain.
There are two sovereign states located on the islands: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.[3] The group also includes the Isle of Man, a British crown dependency. Both states, but not the Isle of Man, are members of the European Union. Between 1801 and 1922, Great Britain and Ireland together formed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.[4] In 1922, Ireland left the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, except for six counties in the northeast of the island, which became known as Northern Ireland."
