The subjugation of Wales by the English was completed in the late 13th century by Edward I, who gave his infant son, later Edward II, the title of Prince of Wales – still carried today by the monarch's eldest son.

UNION OF SCOTLAND AND ENGLAND
Scotland remained a separate kingdom throughout the Middle Ages, often at war with England. Realizing the benefits of closer political and economic union, England and Scotland agreed in 1707 on a single Parliament for Great Britain. Scotland kept its own system of law and church settlement.
THE GROWTH OF THE EMPIRE
The 17th and 18th centuries saw considerable overseas expansion by Brit¬ain. Britain continued to extend its rule through the 19th century over a large part of the world – a process from which the modern Commonwealth even¬tually emerged. Until 1922 the country was called as Great Britain and Ire¬land. Now it's Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It's a unitary state.
