Answers
Answer:
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. The process of unification of Britain is as follows:
Britain was not a nation-state prior to 18th century. 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.
In 1688, England established as a nation-state. English parliament seized power from the monarchy.
In 1707 the Act of Union between England and Scotland led to the formation of the ‘United Kingdom of Great Britain’.
England dominated Scotland and Ireland in all spheres. British Parliament was dominated by English members.
Ireland was forcibly taken by the British after the failed revolution led by Wolfe and his United Irishmen (1798) and a new "British Nation" was formed.
