What is so GREAT about Great Britain?

uhm.. it has a queen

The great refers to it's size in comparison to the other British Isles.

Great Britain is the name of the largest of the British Isles. Ireland is the second biggest.

Back in the day the land size and the political machine was Great compared to everybody else. Kinda like the United States there is so many cries:

Racism

Prejudice to the Gays

Anti-christian movement from the American Civil Liberties Union

I sometimes wonder if we ever was United?

The term great Britain substitute into easily used in the previous the Norman Conquest to tell apart the main island of england from Lesser Britain (or Brittany in cutting-edge English). So the word predates the British Empire by way of many centuries. the popular which means of great as "remarkable, wonderful" is under 2 hundred years previous. by way of this time, the dominion of great Britain now secure eire and the call of the state substitute into replaced to uk.

It has to be called Great Britain because Mediocre Britain or Average Britain would sound silly.

The people, Multi Cultural society.

The Royal Family (lol)

Birmingham!!!

Seriously Britain is great.. you always realise when you visit other countries :) It may be hotter in other countries, but I love the people in Great Britain :)

The great refers to Brittany, most of the celts and picts came from there and the word great just means bigger Brittany, Great Britain.

It does not mean that we are better, just that we are bigger than Brittany where our original immigrants came from.

The size?

Two words. English accents.

Our generous manner of apologising to other cultures living in the British Isles, for any inconvenience we may be causing them.
