∙ 11y agoEngland has existed as a unified entity since the 10th century; the union between England and Wales, begun in 1284 with the Statute of Rhuddlan, was not formalized until 1536 with an Act of Union; in another Act of Union in 1707, England and Scotland agreed to permanently join as Great Britain; the legislative union of Great Britain and Ireland was implemented in 1801, with the adoption of the name the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland; the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921 formalized a partition of Ireland; six northern Irish counties remained part of the United Kingdom as Northern Ireland and the current name of the country, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, was adopted in 1927

∙ 9y agoThe Act of Union in 1800 gave Ireland representation in the house of commons in British parliament. I'm pretty sure it gave 106 MPs for the whole island. This gave the Irish political representation in the house of commons, although it eliminated any chance of having a government on Irish soil. Hence the Home Rule bill.
As for its position the Act of Union more or less made Ireland a state of England in the same way Scotland and Wales are. There was no longer Britain and Ireland. There was no 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland'. This remained that way until 1927!
Britain now had complete control over Ireland in all shapes and forms. Although the Viceroy (person in charge of looking after Ireland) was often absent and the country was run quite badly in comparison to mainland England.
