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 islands of Great Britain and Ireland. England became the dominant power, coexisting with these nations at different times under the mantle of Great Britain to form the United Kingdom. (Note that the terminology The British Isles is sometimes considered obsolete or even offensive in Ireland if it is used to include Ireland.)
