2/ We start with an intro to the current political status of Wales ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ within the UK ๐ฌ๐ง
Wales, along with Scotland ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ, England ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ, and Northern Ireland ๐ฌ๐ง is one of the four constituent "nations" of the UK.
Under the Government of Wales Act, 1998, the "Senedd" (Welsh Parliament), was granted devolved power over critical issues such as health, education and housing. National questions such as immigration and foreign affairs are voted for in London.
3/ Welsh history obviously didnโt start with devolution in 1998, though!
The Celts settled in Wales ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ around 600 BCE and developed the Welsh language. Several hundred years later, the Romans invaded in 43 CE as part of their incursion against the Celts and established themselves in the territory.
