Great Britain is the largest island of the British Isles - the second largest is the island of Ireland. It lies to the northwest of Continental Europe with Ireland to the west and makes up the larger part of the territory of the United Kingdom. It is the largest island in Europe, and eighth largest in the world. It is surrounded by over 100 smaller islands and islets.
Politically, "Great Britain" describes the combination of England, Scotland, and Wales, and therefore includes a number of outlying islands such as the Isle of Wight, Anglesey, the Isles of Scilly, the Hebrides, and the island groups of Orkney and Shetland, but does not include the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.

No. England is part of Britain.
Britain is also very commonly confused with the UK (United Kingdom).
Britain is the whole Island(, so England, Scotland and Wales), The UK also includes Northern Ireland.
THis is what I have always been led to believe.
Anyone can be British you just gotta be born in any of the above countries regardless of culture.
Being English is very different!
