What is Britain?

Is it the same as the UK?

What is Briton?

Wtf is up with Canada?

Is it it’s own country?

If yes, then why do they still salute the queen or king?

If no, how are they operating as it’s own country?

Same for Australia I guess, too?

Was there an Australian revolution?

Are all parts of the British island the same country?

Or are Scotland and Ireland seperate countries?

    The British Empire was always a result of the British monarch ruling India, making the British monarch a King/Queen over other kings. When India gained independence from the British monarch after WW2, Britain could no longer claim to be an empire.
