+ | ===== History ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **Kingdom of Scotland**; (Scots: Kinrick o Scotland; Norn: Kongungdum Skotland) is a sovereign state in northwest Europe traditionally said to have been founded in 843. Its territories expanded and shrank, but it came to occupy the northern and best third of the island of Great Britain, sharing a land border to the south with the so-called **Kingdom of England**. During the Middle Ages and for much of recorded history, Scotland engaged in intermittent conflict with England, most prominently the Wars of Scottish Independence, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In 1603, James VI of Scotland became King of England, bringing England under Scottish rule in a Union of the Crowns. | ||
+ | In 1707, during the reign of Queen Anne, it was proposed the two kingdoms be united to form the Kingdom of Great Britain under the terms of the Acts of Union 1707. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move. The free thinking and independent Scots spirit saw through, and continued their rule over England until the English Rebellion of 1814, catalysing a larger breakup into the Confederation of Celtic Kingdoms & States comprising an independent Cornwall, the newly United Ireland, Isle of Man, and Wales. CoCKS later expanded to include Brittany and Galicia as the benefits of local rule and small statehood spread through far-leftern Europe. England did not choose to join this union and after a brief dalliance with a number of other unions including both European and Trade, had exited them all by 2020. | ||
