Ze bouwden een groot aantal forten in het zuiden van het land tot <a href="/wiki/Carmarthen" title="Carmarthen">Carmarthen</a> in het westen. Zij bouwden ook het <a href="/wiki/Amfitheater" title="Amfitheater">amfitheater</a> in <a href="/wiki/Caerleon" title="Caerleon">Caerleon</a>, het best bewaarde in Groot-Brittannië. De <a href="/wiki/Romanisering" title="Romanisering">romanisering</a> bleef kennelijk beperkt en het <a href="/wiki/Brythonisch" class="mw-redirect" title="Brythonisch">Brits</a> was in de Romeinse periode de normale omgangstaal. </p><p>In 410 werden de Romeinse legioenen teruggetrokken. Kort daarop kreeg Groot-Brittannië te maken met invasies van Germaanse stammen, zoals <a href="/wiki/Angelen" title="Angelen">Angelen</a>, <a href="/wiki/Saksen_(volk)" title="Saksen (volk)">Saksen</a> en <a href="/wiki/Juten_(volk)" title="Juten (volk)">Juten</a>. In die tijd ontwikkelde zich een gemeenschappelijke Keltische identiteit waarvoor men het begrip <i>combrogi</i> begon te gebruiken, "landgenoten". De woorden <i>Cymry</i>, "Welshmen", en <i>Cymru</i>, "Wales", zijn hiervan afgeleid. Dit werd gelatiniseerd tot <i>Cambria</i>. Ze duidden toen een veel groter gebied aan dan tegenwoordig, ongeveer de westelijke helft van Groot-Brittannië met uitzondering van <a href="/wiki/Cornwall" title="Cornwall">Cornwall</a> waar andere dialecten werden gesproken. Door het wegvallen van het Romeinse gezag kwamen in het gebied van het huidige Wales zelfstandige koninkrijkjes op, met name <a href="/wiki/Koninkrijk_Gwynedd" title="Koninkrijk Gwynedd">Gwynedd</a>, <a href="/wiki/Koninkrijk_Powys" title="Koninkrijk Powys">Powys</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Dyfed_(koninkrijk)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Dyfed (koninkrijk) (de pagina bestaat niet)">Dyfed</a>, <a href="/wiki/Seisyllwg" title="Seisyllwg">Seisyllwg</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Morgannwg&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Morgannwg (de pagina bestaat niet)">Morgannwg</a> en <a href="/wiki/Gwent" title="Gwent">Gwent</a>. Op het eind van de zesde eeuw werden die van hun "landgenoten" in het "Oude Noorden" (<i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hen_Ogledd&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Hen Ogledd (de pagina bestaat niet)">Hen Ogledd</a></i>) gescheiden door de opkomst van de Angelsaksische koninkrijken <a href="/wiki/Mercia" class="mw-redirect" title="Mercia">Mercia</a> en <a href="/wiki/Koninkrijk_Northumbria" title="Koninkrijk Northumbria">Northumbria</a>. Daarna stokte de Germaanse opmars. Traditioneel wordt het geweten aan het bergachtige terrein met grote hoeveelheden regen dat Wales nooit door de <a href="/wiki/Angelsaksen" title="Angelsaksen">Angelsaksen</a> werd ingenomen. Moderne verklaringen leggen de klemtoon op het feit dat de Germaanse immigratie rond 550 ophield en dat de Welsh een krachtige eigen christelijke identiteit hadden ontwikkeld waarin ze zich afzetten tegen de Germaanse heidenen. Dat laatste had ook tot gevolg dat ze weinig activiteiten ontplooiden om die te kerstenen, zodat door een missie uit <a href="/wiki/Rome_(stad)" title="Rome (stad)">Rome</a> zelf een Engelse kerkorganisatie tot stand kwam naast een "Britse". Een van de Saksische koningen, <a href="/wiki/Offa" title="Offa">Offa</a> van Mercia, wordt traditioneel gezien als degene die een grote aarden wal (of dijk) liet bouwen langs de grens met zijn koninkrijk om de Welsh buiten te houden. Delen van <a href="/wiki/Offa%27s_Dyke" title="Offa's Dyke">Offa's Dyke</a> zijn tot op de dag van vandaag zichtbaar. Het verdedigingssysteem markeert de culturele grens tussen Wales en Engeland. </p><p>De culturele scheiding hield allerminst in dat er ook een politieke scheiding was. De Welshe vorstendommen waren volop betrokken bij de politieke ontwikkelingen in Groot-Brittannië en sloten vaak bondgenootschappen met de verschillende Angelsaksische koningen waarvan ze soms ook de opperheerschappij erkenden. Zelf vormden ze geen politieke eenheid. In de achtste eeuw werd de situatie nog ingewikkelder door invallen van de <a href="/wiki/Vikingen" title="Vikingen">Vikingen</a> en de vorming van Deense koninkrijken op Engels grondgebied. Tussen 1055 en 1063 werd Wales voor het eerst, en het laatst, politiek verenigd onder koning <a href="/wiki/Gruffudd_ap_Llywelyn" title="Gruffudd ap Llywelyn">Gruffudd ap Llywelyn</a>. Het ging hier om een <a href="/wiki/Personele_unie" title="Personele unie">personele unie</a> van de verschillende prinsdommen; er heeft dus nooit een Welshe staat bestaan. In 1066 veroverde <a href="/wiki/Willem_de_Veroveraar" title="Willem de Veroveraar">Willem de Veroveraar</a> vanuit <a href="/wiki/Normandi%C3%AB" title="Normandië">Normandië</a> Engeland. Daarbij werd een proces van <a href="/wiki/Feodaal" class="mw-redirect" title="Feodaal">feodalisering</a> ingezet. Het bleek echter zeer lastig om dat systeem ook naar Wales uit te breiden waar men een eigen kerk en hofcultuur had. De Normandische koningen zagen het grensgebied met Wales als een oorlogszone, de <i><a href="/wiki/Welsh_Marches" title="Welsh Marches">Welsh Marches</a></i>, waarin de <i>Marcher Lords</i> de vrije hand kregen hun gebied naar het westen uit te breiden. In twee eeuwen tijd veroverden die het zuiden van Wales. In 1267 werd <a href="/wiki/Llywelyn_ap_Gruffydd" title="Llywelyn ap Gruffydd">Llywelyn ap Gruffydd</a>, de prins van Gwynedd, door <a href="/wiki/Hendrik_III_van_Engeland" title="Hendrik III van Engeland">Hendrik III van Engeland</a> erkend als <i>Prince of Wales</i> op voorwaarde dat de Engelse koning als <a href="/wiki/Leenheer" class="mw-redirect" title="Leenheer">leenheer</a> werd erkend. <a href="/wiki/Eduard_I_van_Engeland" title="Eduard I van Engeland">Eduard I van Engeland</a> lukte het in 1277 het midden van Wales onder zijn gezag te brengen en het onafhankelijke gebied te beperken tot een klein deel van Gwynedd. Dat leidde tot een nationale Welshe opstand toen hij poogde het Engelse rechtssysteem op te leggen. Die opstand mislukte in <a href="/wiki/1282" title="1282">1282</a>, toen prins Llywelyn ap Gruffydd overleed en zo <i>Llywelyn Ein Llyw Ola</i> ("Llywelyn de Laatste") werd. Eduard I maakte van het noorden een apart prinsdom, de <i>Principality of North Wales</i>, dat direct onder het gezag van de Engelse koning viel. Hij bouwde een groot aantal reusachtige stenen kastelen, dwangburchten om de Welsh in bedwang te kunnen houden. De bekendste staan (nog steeds) in <a href="/wiki/Caernarfon" title="Caernarfon">Caernarfon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Conwy_(stad)" title="Conwy (stad)">Conwy</a> en <a href="/wiki/Harlech" title="Harlech">Harlech</a>. </p><p>Tot 1535 viel Wales formeel buiten het Engelse koninkrijk. De <i>Marcher Lords</i> en de Engelse koning heersten er op persoonlijke titel. Soms waren er Welshe opstanden, de meest bekende en succesvolle die van <a href="/wiki/Owain_Glynd%C5%B5r" title="Owain Glyndŵr">Owain Glyndŵr</a>, die zich liet uitroepen tot <i>Prince of Wales</i>, tussen 1400 en 1412. In de zestiende eeuw werd deze situatie van wetteloosheid en rechteloosheid in toenemende mate als onwenselijk beschouwd, een bedreiging voor de openbare orde en de veiligheid van de Kroon. <a href="/wiki/Hendrik_VIII_van_Engeland" title="Hendrik VIII van Engeland">Hendrik VIII van Engeland</a> stelde daarom in 1535 en 1542 wetten vast, tegenwoordig officieel de <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Laws_in_Wales_Acts_1535%E2%80%931542&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542 (de pagina bestaat niet)">Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542</a></i> genaamd, waarin het hele gebied volledig bij Engeland getrokken werd. De wetten bepaalden dat <i>Welshmen</i> gelijkwaardig waren aan andere Engelsen maar ook dat het Engels, met uitsluiting van het Welsh, de taal van rechtspraak en bestuur zou zijn. Onder Hendrik VIII werd ook de bestuursorganisatie van de <a href="/wiki/Kerk_van_Engeland" class="mw-redirect" title="Kerk van Engeland">Kerk van Engeland</a> aan het gebied opgelegd. Dit alles leidde tot de vorming van een Engelstalige bovenlaag. Tot 1689 was er nog een <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Council_of_Wales_and_the_Marches&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Council of Wales and the Marches (de pagina bestaat niet)">Council of Wales and the Marches</a></i>; daarna viel iedere bestuurlijke eenheid van het gebied weg. </p><p>Tijdens de negentiende eeuw begon Wales in versneld tempo te verengelsen, vooral in het dichter bevolkte zuiden waar zich een belangrijke mijnbouw en industrie ontwikkelde. In reactie hierop en in aansluiting met het toen gangbare <a href="/wiki/Nationalisme" title="Nationalisme">nationalisme</a> kwam er een nationale Welshe beweging op gang. Een gevolg was, dat zowel in Wales zelf als in de rest van Engeland het gebied als een apart land begon beschouwd te worden. Hiervoor ontwierp men ook nationale symbolen, zoals een vlag, wapenschild en volkslied, de <i><a href="/wiki/Hen_Wlad_Fy_Nhadau" title="Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau">Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau</a></i>. Daarvoor bestond oorspronkelijk niet de geringste juridische basis. Wales is geen apart prinsdom, ondanks de verwarrende titel van <i>Prince of Wales</i> die de Engelse kroonprins draagt. Anders dan Schotland heeft Wales ook geen eigen valuta, rechtssysteem of onderwijssysteem. Het valt nog steeds onder het oude recht van het <a href="/wiki/Koninkrijk_Engeland" title="Koninkrijk Engeland">koninkrijk Engeland</a>. Het maakte sinds 1707 deel uit van het <a href="/wiki/Verenigd_Koninkrijk_(hoofdbetekenis)" class="mw-redirect" title="Verenigd Koninkrijk (hoofdbetekenis)">Verenigd Koninkrijk</a> als deel van Engeland. In de <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Interpretation_Act_1978&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Interpretation Act 1978 (de pagina bestaat niet)">Interpretation Act 1978</a></i> werd het gebied voor het eerst gedefinieerd als een apart land (<i>country</i>) maar dat bleef vooralsnog een holle frase daar er geen enkel <a href="/wiki/Rechtsgevolg" title="Rechtsgevolg">rechtsgevolg</a> aan verbonden was. </p> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><span><video id="mwe_player_0" poster="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cc/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm/280px-seek%3D429-Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm.jpg" controls="" preload="none" data-mw-tmh="" class="mw-file-element" width="280" height="158" data-durationhint="3505" data-mwtitle="Cynhadledd_i'r_wasg_gyda'r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm" data-mwprovider="wikimediacommons" resource="/wiki/Bestand:Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm"><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/c/cc/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm.480p.vp9.webm#t=00:07:09,00:58:10" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="480p.vp9.webm" data-width="854" data-height="480" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/c/cc/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm.720p.vp9.webm#t=00:07:09,00:58:10" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="720p.vp9.webm" data-width="1280" data-height="720" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cc/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm#t=00:07:09,00:58:10" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-width="1280" data-height="720" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/c/cc/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm.144p.mjpeg.mov#t=00:07:09,00:58:10" type="video/quicktime" data-transcodekey="144p.mjpeg.mov" data-width="256" data-height="144" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/c/cc/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm.240p.vp9.webm#t=00:07:09,00:58:10" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="240p.vp9.webm" data-width="426" data-height="240" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/c/cc/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm.360p.vp9.webm#t=00:07:09,00:58:10" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="360p.vp9.webm" data-width="640" data-height="360" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/c/cc/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm/Cynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm.360p.webm#t=00:07:09,00:58:10" type="video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"" data-transcodekey="360p.webm" data-width="640" data-height="360" /><track src="https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=timedtext&title=File%3ACynhadledd_i%27r_wasg_gyda%27r_Prif_Weinidog_Mark_Drakeford_-_Press_conference_with_the_First_Minister.webm&lang=en&trackformat=vtt&origin=%2A" kind="subtitles" type="text/vtt" srclang="en" label="English ‪(en)‬" data-dir="ltr" /></video></span><figcaption> <a href="/w/index.php?title=Mark_Drakeford&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Mark Drakeford (de pagina bestaat niet)">Mark Drakeford</a>, premier van Wales, in een van de dagelijkse COVID-19-persconferenties van de <a href="/wiki/Regering_van_Wales" class="mw-redirect" title="Regering van Wales">regering van Wales</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>Na de <a href="/wiki/Tweede_Wereldoorlog" title="Tweede Wereldoorlog">Tweede Wereldoorlog</a> kwam het tot een zeer geleidelijke bestuurlijke verzelfstandiging.

In 1964 werd die afgeschaft ter gelegenheid van de oprichting van de <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Welsh_Office&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Welsh Office (de pagina bestaat niet)">Welsh Office</a></i>, een regeringsdepartement met een eigen <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Secretary_of_State_for_Wales&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Secretary of State for Wales (de pagina bestaat niet)">Secretary of State for Wales</a></i>. In 1979 werd in een <a href="/wiki/Referendum" class="mw-redirect" title="Referendum">referendum</a>, beperkt tot het traditionele Wales, het voorstel verworpen tot een aparte Welshe assemblee. In 1997 echter werd in het kader van een ruimere <i><a href="/wiki/Devolution" class="mw-redirect" title="Devolution">devolution</a></i> van het Verenigd Koninkrijk, die ook Schotland omvatte, in een referendum een zodanig voorstel met 50,3% aangenomen. In 1999 werden voor het eerst verkiezingen gehouden voor de <i>Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru</i>, de <a href="/wiki/Nationale_Vergadering_van_Wales" class="mw-redirect" title="Nationale Vergadering van Wales">Nationale Vergadering van Wales</a> met zestig leden. De <i>Welsh Office</i> als zodanig werd toen afgeschaft en vervangen door de <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wales_Office&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wales Office (de pagina bestaat niet)">Wales Office</a></i>.

In 2011 stemde de bevolking in een referendum voor een volledig autonome wetgevende bevoegdheid, zij het slechts op de twintig vooraf bepaalde bestuursterreinen.

Dit proces van verzelfstandiging heeft ertoe geleid dat Wales sinds 1999 officieel aangeduid wordt als <i>constituent country</i> van het Verenigd Koninkrijk, naast Engeland, Schotland en Noord-Ierland. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geografie">Geografie</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wales&veaction=edit&section=2" title="Bewerk dit kopje: Geografie" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>bewerken</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wales&action=edit&section=2" title="De broncode bewerken van de sectie: Geografie"><span>brontekst bewerken</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/Bestand:Wales_333.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Wales_333.jpg/260px-Wales_333.jpg" decoding="async" width="260" height="169" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Wales_333.jpg/390px-Wales_333.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Wales_333.jpg/520px-Wales_333.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1516" data-file-height="984" /></a><figcaption><a href="/w/index.php?title=Worms_Head&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Worms Head (de pagina bestaat niet)">Worms Head</a> voor de kust van Wales</figcaption></figure> <p>Wales ligt in het centrale westen van het eiland <a href="/wiki/Groot-Brittanni%C3%AB_(eiland)" title="Groot-Brittannië (eiland)">Groot-Brittannië</a>.

De definitieve goedkeuring voor beide topleveldomeinen voor Wales werd in juni 2014 door ICANN verleend. </p><p>Op 30 september 2014 heeft de Llywydd van de Senedd Senedd-websites en andere sites officieel verplaatst naar nieuwe ".cymru" en ".wales" -domeinen die geografische topleveldomeinen zijn die specifiek zijn voor Wales. Wales Online, Daily Post, de Welsh Rugby Union, het Millennium Stadium, Bloc, Gwalia, Atlantic PLC, Orchard en Portmeirion waren onder andere die ook overstapten naar de domeinen. Deze werden beschikbaar voor iedereen op St David's Day 2015. </p><p>Een gefaseerde lancering van de nieuwe domeinen was gepland, waarbij merkhouders in eerste instantie in aanmerking kwamen om een aanvraag in te dienen. De algemene beschikbaarheid werd in het voorjaar van 2015 verwacht. Early adopters van de domeinen zijn onder meer de Welshe regering en het mannenkoor Only Men Aloud!. </p><p><a rel="nofollow" class="external text"
