The History of the British Isles, until the last few hundred years, was one of struggle and competition between the separate nation-states that occupied various parts of the island of Great Britain. England became the dominant power, coexisting with these nations at different times under the mantle of Great Britain to form the United Kingdom.

For a history of the modern British state see History of the United Kingdom. See Britain for a discussion of the various interpretations of the word Britain.
