Is England The Same As Britain?

No, it's not, is America the same as Canada? Nope. Well, okay, what's slightly more confusing is that Britain is the collective name for a number of countries in the Union of Kingdoms known as the UK.  Wales, Scotland and England formed Great Britain (presumably Tiny and Inconsequential Britain is somewhere else), whilst Northern Ireland is separate, still part of the UK, but not GB.

England is just a small wee country in part of the Union, Americans and Germans most often get confused and call one the other, or visit Scotland and tell people they love being in England.  Since England has often been the driving force in Britain (not without good reason including practically hobbling the industries of the other countries) it is why England has become known as Britain, because it represents Britain the best of all, or at least that's what people believe, even if is is mistakenly so.
