Welsh Nationalist Movement

The Welsh Nationalist Movement is a political effort advocating for greater independence and recognition for Wales, emphasizing its unique culture, language, and history. It originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, aiming to promote Welsh identity and often seeking increased self-governance or autonomy within the United Kingdom. The movement has taken various forms, from cultural preservation to political campaigns for devolution and independence. While not all Welsh nationalists support full independence, they generally emphasize the importance of maintaining Wales’s distinct traditions and having a political voice aligned with Welsh interests.
