TeaAndTimeline🇬🇧 What's the Difference Between Great Britain, the United Kingdom, and England? 🇮🇪
Clear up the confusion between Great Britain, the United Kingdom, and England. Firstly, let's break down the islands. The smaller island, Ireland, has two countries: Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The larger island, Great Britain, includes three countries: England, Scotland, and Wales. Here's what you need to know: England refers specifically to the country in the southern part of Great Britain, with its capital in London. Great Britain is the name of the large island containing England, Scotland, and Wales. The United Kingdom includes all of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland is a separate country, part of the European Union, with its capital in Dublin. Together, all these territories are part of the British Isles, which include Great Britain, Ireland, and over 6,000 smaller islands. Stay tuned to understand more about these fascinating regions! 📚

How long did it take you to make this video?
Short answer: Too Bleeping Long (well over 100 hours as I had to remake this)
(I started in around December and research before then)
What software/equipment did you use to make this video?
After effects, Illustrator, Premier Pro, Audacity, Yeti microphone,
Believe it or not this is in a nutshell compared to the amount of research that went into this
Obviously we've simplified some events just for the sake of time and missed people and events that can be covered in other videos

The UK sits at the same latitude as Hudson Bay — a body of water locked in ice for half the year — yet palm trees grow outdoors in Scotland and London is warmer in January than Montreal. The rock under the Outer Hebrides formed before animal life existed on Earth. A currency being used in shops today is older than the Norman Conquest. The country you think you know is hiding more than the map shows.
In this video, we explore:
→ Why London sits further north than Calgary, and Edinburgh further north than Moscow — and why neither feels Arctic
→ Three-billion-year-old rocks called Lewisian gneiss sitting loose on Scottish beaches, formed when Earth's oceans held only single-celled organisms and the sky had almost no oxygen
→ Surfers paddling out to ride a tidal wave called the Severn Bore — two metres tall, travelling over 20 km/h, rolling upstream for miles up an English river
→ Why the White Cliffs of Dover aren't actually rock — they're billions of microscopic shells from algae that lived 70 to 100 million years ago, compressed into stone
→ Stonehenge predating the Great Pyramid of Giza by 440 years — Egyptian builders were still hauling limestone when it was already half a millennium old
→ Scotland's Highlands once standing as tall as the Himalayas, ground down over 400 million years into the stumps that remain today
→ A British Empire 145 times larger than the country running it, governing nearly a quarter of every human alive in 1920
→ A currency older than the Norman Conquest — the British pound, at roughly 1,264 years, already functioning when Charlemagne ruled the Frankish Empire
→ Tim Berners-Lee inventing the World Wide Web in 1989 and refusing to patent it — giving every website that has ever existed away for free
→ Cornish, a language declared dead in 1777, reconstructed from old texts and now being taught to children in Cornwall again
And at fact 44: a country smaller than the US state of Oregon that has produced over 130 Nobel laureates, written the rulebook for ten globally played sports, and anchored every clock on the planet to a single suburb in southeast London.
