What region do you think would win in a war? N. Ireland, Wales, England, or Scottland? I'm not british; I'm American. And I'm sorry if I forgot any regions. I think England would win, because the capital is there, and most military resources. At least I think most of the military resources are there. Correct me, if I'm wrong. So, OT, what do you think?

I'm Canadian but of scottish decent. Back in the day the Scots, as well as th eIrish, use to ride into battle naked and painted in blue dye. That enough should show their awesomeness.

I would think that England would win due to a larger population, and therefore I assume a larger military force. I also understand that England is the wealthiest region, which helps.

Ok first of all N.Ireland = Irish not British.

Secondly Silly question.

Thirdly the English are in control of all of the UKs armed forces.. So it's a pretty one sided fight.

.. This would be like asking which of my body parts would win a fight against one another.. My fist, foot, knee, or big toe.. Pretty pointless.

Well considering Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland only became part of the UK because England conquered them and forced them to be, I'm going to realistically have to vote for the English.

Your first point is wrong. Northern Ireland is part of Great Britain and therefore British. Your second point is fine. Your third point is wrong. Parliament are in control of the armed forces. Parliament includes members from Wales and Scotland. The Prime Minister of Britain is in fact a Scotsman, Gordon Brown.

Are you Connor MacLeod of the clan MacLeod :shock: Were you born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel :shock: are you Immortal

'' draws out the sword and shouts - there can be only one'':D

Amazing how many crap movies i have seen :?

Civil War in Britain would play like this

Welsh start singing and throwing leeks at attacking force

Scots get drunk and eat too much deep fried mars bars and cannot fight

English would turn on each other or French(they hate Scots but they hate French more)

so N.Irish win :D

No we are Irish.. UK citizens but Irish. Britain is the island that houses Scotland, Wales and England. Solid_mario they are still under English control.. they are controlled by the English parliament (regardless of the nationalitie of those in charge) and are sworn to the Queen of england. Many of the terms of independant gorverning giving to the countries of the UK where under the condition that military affairs where dealt with by the Main English parliament.

Technically N. Ireland is part of the UK. Great Britain however, is England, Scotland, and Wales.

England certainly has a much higher population than Scotland, but Scotland has trident.

My British relatives are all from England. And they just asked me to let all you know that England would win hands down. Something about St. George as well, but I wasn't paying that close attention.

Well england has the highest population so would probably have the biggest army (if all the normal people became soldiers or something), so they may stand the best chance. In wales we have mountainous terrain that would be difficult to conquer (and has been in the past), and I assume Scotland has such obstacles too. Northern Ireland has the smallest population, though there are plenty of people there who can fight as the past has shown In an all out deathmatch Wales would probably lose first as I can't imagine many people being motivated to fight. The end result would probably be a showdown between England and Scotland. England would have to fend off both the Scots from the North and the Welsh from the West, so would be weakened as a result thereby making the match up a bit more even. Though realistically it's which one has access to the nukes (currently scotland)

That's a pretty stupid question. When there are maybe six million Scots to about sixty million English its not much of a contest.

The Welsh would just look direly at all the fool capering around and fighting, shake their heads sadly and return to whatever they were doing before, muttering under their collective breath about the damned fools they have to share the British Isles with. So they wouldn't win, but they wouldn't lose either.

Not to mention before that England and Scottland was under one king, a king from Scottland.

The movie Braveheart was extremely inaccurate.. For instance the french princess that supposedly has a love affair with the main character is a flat out lie.. In actuality she was in support of the English crown in quelling the Scottish uprising.

England. Im pretty sure the majority of the members of parliament are english and so the military would be controlled by the english. England also has the capital and the biggest population.
