In what year was the Kingdom of Great Britain established?
While maintaining separate parliaments, England and Scotland were ruled under one crown beginning in 1603, when James VI of Scotland succeeded his cousin Elizabeth I as James I of England. In the ensuing 100 years, strong religious and political differences divided the kingdoms. Finally, in 1707, England and Scotland were unified as Great Britain, sharing a single Parliament at Westminster.
Great Britain, also referred to as the Kingdom of Great Britain, was a monarchy established by the Act of Union on May 1, 1707 that politically united the kingdoms of England and Scotland.
