Detailed explanation-1: -On 17 June 1944, 200 days after the 25-year Danish–Icelandic Act of Union had expired and following a referendum, Iceland was declared an independent republic with this being recognised by London as well as the King of Denmark.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Republic of Ireland operates as a sovereign state of its own, although it’s physically close to the UK. The Isle of Man and the Channel Island (Jersey and Guernsey) are what we call ‘Crown Dependencies’ but are not part of the UK.
Detailed explanation-3: -The United Kingdom (UK) is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
