Why this matters

Great Britain has been inhabited since the end of the last Ice Age, with significant historical developments including Roman occupation, Anglo-Saxon and Viking influences, and the Norman Conquest. It is notable as the site of the foundation of the United Kingdom and the center of the British Empire.

What is recorded here

This is the relation for the island of Great Britain - the mainland. It should not include other islands and should not be confused with the country of the United Kingdom.
