The act of Union in 1800 combined Great Britain and the kingdom of Ireland into the United Kingdom. In 1922 the Irish Free State ceased to be part of the UK, leaving only six of the counties of Ulster, and from 1927 we have been known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Ireland
The parliaments of England and Scotland were merged in 1707 to form the United Kingdom. When Ireland was included in 1801, it became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until 1922 when the island of Ireland (except for six counties in the northeast of the island) became an independent country again.

Britain.
The United Kingdom is a country of western Europe comprising England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Beginning with the kingdom of England, it was created by three acts of union: with Wales (1536), Scotland (1707), and Ireland (1800). At the height of its power in the 19th century it ruled an empire that spanned the globe. London is the capital and the largest city. Population: 60,600,000.

Neither. There has not been a Queen (or King) of England since 1707 when the crowns of Scotland and England were united. Great Britain is not a country, it's an island. Queen Victoria was Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
It was a joint effort between Britain and France

Great Britain is the island comprising the mainlands of Scotland, England and Wales. It is also sometimes used to refer to the combined countries of Scotland, England and Wales. Great Britain, after the Acts of Union in 1707, was the official name of the country that was created by the union of the Kingdoms of Scotland and England. In all of these cases Scotland is a part of Great Britain.
