Snake-Pit Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) ... First time I left the country was to Philadelphia and the mid Atlantic States there the second time I left was to Philadelphia (and surrounding PA' & places in NJ on the Shore), again... Third time was recent, that was to Amsterdam (In North Holland, The Netherlands) by road via France & Belgium, fourth time was even more recent than that, to Amsterdam; the same way again.

''The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'' (before 1922 it used to be just ''Ireland''), i.e. Ireland is not inclusive of Great Britain but separate.

Indians were never British during the Raj, basically because the British Empire never created any coherent inclusive citizenship plan (the French Empire pursued this further). Much of the Raj was not even under direct British rule anyhow but under the rule of princely rulers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no point in Ireland's history has Ireland been considered literally British, neither geographically nor politically; the height of Britain's involvement there, which would commence 1800-1 with the Act of Union and ending of the Irish Parliament, and end in 1922 with the establishment of the Irish Free State, makes this apparent in the political designation: ''...and Ireland''.
