The United Kingdom was not formed until nearly 200 years after Henry VIII, the formation of the United Kingdom came much later than Henry VIII's reign.
Early States in Great Britain: By the start of the 16th century, Great Britain consisted of two separate kingdoms: the Kingdom of England (which included Wales and controlled Ireland) and the Kingdom of Scotland. The once-independent Principality of Wales had fallen under English control since the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284.
Union of Crowns (1603): The accidental consequence of a royal marriage united England and Scotland in a personal union known as the Union of Crowns in 1603. However, full political union required a Treaty of Union in 1706 and the subsequent Acts of Union in 1707 to ratify the treaty. This marked the formation of the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Acts of Union 1800: The Kingdom of Great Britain merged with the Kingdom of Ireland (gradually brought under English control between 1541 and 1691) to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801.
Irish Independence and Name Change (1922-1927): The Irish Free State gained independence in 1922 following the partition of the island of Ireland. Six of the nine counties of the province of Ulster remained within the UK, which then changed its name to the current United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1927.
Devolution and Modern Times: In the 20th century, Welsh and Scottish nationalism, along with the resolution of the Troubles in Ireland, led to the establishment of devolved parliaments or assemblies for Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
