Explanation:
In Britain the formation of a nation-state was not the result of a sudden upheaval,
revolution or national struggle but of a long drawn out parliamentary process.
England had people of many ethnic groups such as English, Welsh, Scot and Irish with
their own cultural and political traditions.
The English nation steadily grew in importance, wealth and power and extended her
influence over other nations of the island.
The British Parliament, which had seized power from the monarchy in 1688, was the
instrument through which a nation-state, with England at the centre, came to be forged.
The Act of Union of 1707 between England and Scotland resulted in the formation of
United Kingdom of Great Britain.
Ireland, after a prolonged conflict between Irish Catholics and British Protestants, was
forcibly incorporated into the United Kingdom in 1801.
The symbols of the new Britain—the British flag (Union Jack), the national anthem and
the English language—were actively promoted.
