114 Britain, the United Kingdom, the British Isles and England
115 1
(Great) Britain is normally used to mean the island which includes England, Scotland and Wales; British is used for the people of these three countries. Great Britain and Northern Ireland together are called the United Kingdom; some people also use Britain in this wider sense.
The British Isles is a geographical, not a political term. It is the name for England, Scotland, Wales, the whole of Ireland (which includes both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, also called 'Eire'), and the smaller islands round about.
Note that England is only one part of Britain. Scotland and Wales are not in England, and Scottish and Welsh people do not like to be called 'English'.
A very informal word for a British person is Brit. Briton is used mainly in news reports and newspaper headlines (e.g. THREE BRITONS DIE IN AIR CRASH), and to refer to the ancient inhabitants of Britain.
broad and wide physical distance
To talk about the physical distance from one side of something to the other, we more often use wide.
We live in a very wide street. The car's too wide for the garage. Broad can also be used in this physical sense, especially in more formal descriptions.
Across the broad valley, the mountains rose blue and mysterious. She wore a simple green dress with a broad black belt.
