Answer 1

the unification of great Britain..

• The transformation of Great Britain into a nation state was not a sudden process. There was no one British nation before the eighteenth century.
• People residing in the British Isles were mainly English, Welsh, Scots and Irish. These ethnic groups had distinct political and social traditions.
• As the English nation grew in wealth and power, it began to dominate the other islands.
• In 1688, the English Parliament seized power from the monarchy. The Parliament passed the Act of Union, 1707, by which England and Scotland were unified resulting in the formation of the ‘United Kingdom of Great Britain’.
• The Parliament was dominated by the English, and the political and cultural identities of the Scots were systematically suppressed. The Catholics in Scotland were brutally suppressed whenever they wanted to regain their independence.
• Ireland was inhabited by the Protestants and the Catholics. The English supported the Protestants and established their rule with their help and support. Catholics, who constituted a majority in Ireland, revolted against the British on numerous occasions but were suppressed.
• Ireland forcibly became a part of Britain in 1801. The English language dominated, and both Scotland and Ireland were subordinate to England.
• In Britain every ethnic group was present and people there spoke different languages. But the Britain group was above all the other ethnicities in terms of power, wealth, and importance. In 1707 an act of union was passed which led to the formation of United Kingdom. The English people tried to suppress the highlanders and also forbade them to use their own language which was Gaelic. After some time Great Britain tried to unify Ireland in it as well. There were some problems which were faced by Irish people by the Catholics. But they failed to protest against them in 1789 and later Ireland was forcibly incorporated in the U.K of Great Britain in 1801.
