In the American Civil War, Great Britain imposed several taxes on the Thirteen Colonies because it was at debt via the Seven Year's War. The colonies protested and fought for their independence. With the Treaty of Paris, Great Britain officially recognized the independence of the United States.
On January 1, 1801, Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland united to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
== Trivia ==
While the official name for the British nation that existed from May 1, 1707 to January 1, 1801 was simply "Great Britain", the name "Kingdom of Great Britain" is the common name given to this kingdom that existed during most of the 18th century to distinguish it from its successor states, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the modern day United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is also co-incidental that the 18th century ended with the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland fusing together, and the 19th century began with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland forming from the merger of the two kingdoms.
