The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK, or Britain) is a sovereign state located off the north-western coast of continental Europe, on the island of Great Britain and the British Isles surrounding it.

It came to being in 1707, with the union between the Kingdom of Scotland to the North, and the Kingdom of England to the south - the Kingdoms of Wales being annexed by the English three centuries earlier. The Kingdom of Ireland - which had been an English crown dependency since 1659 -, joined in 1801. As of 1927, the majority of Ireland left to form its own republic.

[edit] In Game

A British campaign currently appears in Call of Duty, Call of Duty: United Offensive, Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 3, Call of Duty: Roads to Victory, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2.

Although initially it was thought there was no British campaign in World At War, the discovery of code within the game showing British weapons hinted one had been planned but dropped last minute.
