The Acts of Union, passed by the English and Scottish Parliaments in 1707, led to the creation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain on 1 May of that year. The UK Parliament met for the first time in October 1707.I thought the 'Brit Empire' was doing that long long before the English.
Then on Jan. 1, 1801, The act of Union, legislative agreement uniting Great Britain, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland under the name of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
