A brief history of Wales
While Wales is believed to have been inhabited since 250,000 BC, it only became a recognised country in 1540 with Henry VIII's Act of Union, Within the previous couple of millennia, Wales has been home to European Celtic tribes, Roman and Saxon invaders and other people from everywhere around the world who have settled here.
Wales has its own language and identity, both of which are held in high esteem by Welsh people. it's a devolved parliament (the Welsh Parliament) and a government (the Welsh Government) that creates laws, agrees taxes and represents Welsh people, though the united kingdom Parliament and Government hold significant power and influence. Read more about the history of Wales.
Wales is usually called the castle capital of the planet . With over 600 sites remaining, we've more castles per area unit than than most other countries in Europe. Most can still be visited and a few you can even stay the night in, Like Heritage England, Wales has its own body who manage them called Cadw (the Welsh historic environment service), the National Trust, or by private owners.
Just for some extra info Welsh inventions include the ball bearings, the microphone, deep-space photography and the hydrogen cell, Also something which won't mean a lot to many people but the Welsh invented “packet switching” which is essentially how all post GSM technology works which basically means all your internet on your computer or mobile phones.
