BACKGROUND
Great Britain, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary
democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface.
The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the
dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent
members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach
to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to
remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The
Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is
suspended due to wrangling over the peace process.

NATIONAL HOLIDAY:

INDEPENDENCE:
England has existed as a unified entity since the 10th century; the union between England and Wales, begun in 1284 with the Statute
of Rhuddlan, was not formalized until 1536 with an Act of Union; in another Act of Union in 1707, England and Scotland agreed to
permanently join as Great Britain; the legislative union of Great Britain and Ireland was implemented in 1801, with the adoption of the
name the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland; the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921 formalized a partition of Ireland; six northern
Irish counties remained part of the United Kingdom as Northern Ireland and the current name of the country, the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland, was adopted in 1927
