A History of Wales

A History of Wales traces the development of Wales from prehistoric times to the modern day. It includes the Celtic tribes, the Roman occupation, and the rise of Welsh kingdoms during the Middle Ages. Significant events include resistance against English rule, the establishment of the Welsh parliament, and cultural renaissance through the Welsh language and literature. The industrial revolution transformed Wales, particularly in coal mining and manufacturing. In recent years, Wales has gained increased political autonomy and a focus on national identity, culture, and language, reflecting its unique heritage and contributions to the broader United Kingdom.
