Count from two different tables with same column name and group tehm if same name

Question

I have two tables with the same structure:

Table -1:

+----------------------+--------------+-----+
| Field                | Type         | Key |
+----------------------+--------------+-----+
| id                   | int(5)       | PRI | 
| country              | varchar(500) |     | 
+----------------------+--------------+-----|

Table -2:

+----------------------+--------------+-----+
| Field                | Type         | Key |
+----------------------+--------------+-----+
| id                   | int(5)       | PRI | 
| country              | varchar(500) |     | 
+----------------------+--------------+-----|

The data in the table will be as following: Table -1:

+----+---------+
|id  | country |
+----+---------+
| 1  | A       | 
| 2  | B       |   
| 3  | A       | 
| 4  | A       | 
| 5  | B       | 
+----+---------+

Table -2:

+----+---------+
|id  | country |
+----+---------+
| 1  | A       | 
| 2  | B       |   
| 3  | B       | 
| 4  | B       | 
| 5  | B       | 
+----+---------+

When i use the following query statement :

SELECT country, COUNT(*) AS result FROM table-1 GROUP BY country UNION SELECT country, COUNT(*) AS result FROM table-2 GROUP BY country;

I get the result as following:

+--------+---------+
|country | result  |
+--------+---------+
| A      | 3       | 
| B      | 2       |   
| A      | 1       | 
| B      | 4       | 
+--------+---------+

Which shows the count of table-1 and table-2 seperately. But i want the count to be combined as following:

+--------+---------+
|country | result  |
+--------+---------+
| A      | 4       | 
| B      | 6       |   
+--------+---------+

Thanks in advance.
