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.
