Re: Is America the greatest country in the world?
The "Great" in Great Britain has nothing to do with supremacy in power, influence etc.....it simply means that Great Britain as an island is larger in physical size than Brittany in France - Bretagne as opposed to Grande Bretagne. Britannia as the Romans called these islands (apart from Ireland). The reasons are historical, and as I say absolutely zilch to do with greatness in the sense of status and power politically or militarily or whatever.
