CE 1707 - England and Scotland are united as one country called Great Britain.

In 1707, after the Treaty of Union was signed, the Kingdoms of England and Scotland were united to form the new country of Great Britain.

The Treaty of Union was ratified by the parliaments of both countries and the Acts of Union were passed in 1707.

A single, unified Parliament was established in London and it had authority over the whole of the new kingdom.

One of the most significant changes made by the Acts of Union was the introduction of a single unified currency, the British pound.

The Acts of Union also abolished the separate legal systems of England and Scotland and replaced them with a unified system of English common law.

The Union also abolished the Scottish Parliament and replaced it with a joint Parliament of Great Britain in Westminster.

The Union had a major impact on the culture and identity of the British people, as the two countries now shared a common language, religion, and set of laws.
