Description

Wales: England's Colony? explores the complex and often fraught relationship between Wales and England, from the earliest days of Welsh history to the present day. The conquest of Wales by England was a military one, and the country was formally annexed, ending its separate legal status. Despite this, many Welsh people chose to integrate into British society, embracing the economic and individual opportunities that came with it. However, in the second half of the 20th century, a resurgence of Welsh nationalism emerged, driven in part by the decline of the Welsh language and traditional industries. This book examines the ways in which the relationship between Wales and England has shaped the nation's identity and sense of self. It is a nuanced and thought-provoking study that sheds light on a period of history that has often been overlooked. By exploring the complexities of this relationship, Martin Johnes sheds new light on the history of Wales and its place within the broader context of British history. With 196 pages of detailed analysis and historical context, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Wales and its relationship with England.
