Did anyone find the names of “Great Britain”£¬“the United Kingdom”£¬“England” and “the British Commonwealth” which have the same meaning? Strictly speaking£¬these names all refer to something different.None of them are exactly the same as any of the others.

The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well£¬which you can see on the map.Great Britain£¬or Britain£¬refers to the larger of the two main islands.But the word “Britain” is often used as a short form for the United Kingdom or you call it the UK.
