The Militia of GreatBritain were the principal military reserve forces of the Kingdom of GreatBritain during the 18th century. For the period following the creation of the United Kingdom of GreatBritain and Ireland in 1801, see Militia United Kingdom . GreatBritain In 1707, the Acts of Union 1707 Acts of Union united the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland into the Kingdom of GreatBritain . The Royal Scots Navy was incorporated into the Royal Navy , and the Scottish military as opposed to naval forces merged with the English, with the regular Scottish regiments maintaining their identities, although the command of the new British Army was from England. The Militia Act 1757 had effect only in England and Wales and aimed to create a professional national military reserve. Records were kept, and the men were selected by ballot to serve for longer periods. Uniforms and weapons were provided, and the force was embodied from time to time for training. The threat of Ireland s belligerent all Protestant militia to copy the American colonists and seek to free their country from British control if Ireland s demands for free trade were not met, and the inability of the British, after years of war overseas, to police Ireland easily, would later lead to the Union of GreatBritain and the Kingdom of Ireland into the United Kingdom of GreatBritain and Ireland in 1801.
