Three conditions that led to the formation of the British nation state
1. The Protestant movement which led to the formation of the Church of England distinct from the Catholic church.
2. The death of Queen Elizabeth I that united the English and Scottish crowns into a single British crown.
3. The Glorious revolution in which Parliament overthrew King James II and handed the crown to William of Orange. Henceforth, Britain was to be a constitutional monarchy with real power exercised by Parliament.
