The United Kingdom of England and Scotland was born from the personal union of crowns in 1601 when James VI of Scotland claimed the English throne following the death of his cousin Elizabeth I. The new state continued in its personal union format until the reign of Queen Anne who made the union a full political union. At that point, the Anglo-Scottish state also controlled Ireland. During the Georgian period the entire island of Britain was ruled from London following the defeat and conquest of Wales.

| - The United Kingdom of England and Scotland was born from the personal union of crowns in 1601 when James VI of Scotland claimed the English throne following the death of his cousin Elizabeth I. The new state continued in its personal union format until the reign of Queen Anne who made the union a full political union. At that point, the Anglo-Scottish state also controlled Ireland. During the Georgian period the entire island of Britain was ruled from London following the defeat and conquest of Wales. During this period (1718-1796) following the Treaty of Manchester (November 21st 1720) the country was called the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland (in political short hand, the Imperial State of Britain) with the king, George I using the titles King of the Britons (a title previously claimed by the Welsh Kings) with the full title of the monarch being "by the Grace of God, Emperor of the British Isles, King of the United Kingdoms of England & Scotland, King of Ireland, Wales and France, Prince of Gwynedd, Duke of Lancaster & Normandy, Defender of the Faith, etc". Following the successful 2nd Welsh War of Independence (1759-96) the monarchs and states title changed again back to "The United Kingdom of England & Scotland", with the monarch dropping the Anglo-Scottish's crowns claim to its previous French & Welsh titles. In the 20th Century, the monarch's title changed again, though this time the state's name was unchanged following the Irish War of Independence which saw the island of Ireland gain its freedom. The later part of the 20th Century would see the Anglo-Scottish kingdom under its king Edward VII fight the Nazi threat and then in the late 1970's, the childless king would pass the throne onto his niece's eldest son, Charles, who ascended the throne in 1972.
