I didnt look this up, but:
Great Britain is a geographical term for the island containing England, Scotland and Wales.
United Kingdom is a political term which includes Norther Ireland with the above, plus all the smaller islands like the Ile of Man, Jersey, and Guernesy. I also think outlying possesions are also included in this designation, i.e. The Faulklands, British Virgin Islands, and others. Not real strong on this though.
