History of Wales

Sorry, for the late upload again. School has been kicking my pants, and I got very ill so putting in any work right now is very difficult.

Very nice job overall! I enjoyed it thoroughly, and appreciate the discussion of the pre-Roman era as well (since that is often overlooked).
My one suggestion for improvement would be with terminology. For instance: While it is true that Caratacus lived in what we now call England, he wouldn't be considered "native English" because England did not exist then (since the Anglo-Saxons had not yet invaded Britain, he didn't speak English, etc.). It would be more accurate to call him a "British Celt" or a "Celtic Briton" (British Celts being closer to the Welsh than they would be to the English, in terms of language especially).

Amazing info and video thank you for the time

[philmarsh]

That was really good, you clearly put some research and effort into pronunciation of Welsh names. Excellent

thanks for talking about the Welsh without pointing out how ugly, foolish, clumsy or underdeveloped and uninventive we all were. And how everything the light touches belongs to Rome. I have never seen an English historian resist that temptation

proud to be.. the welsh are tough tenacious people.

The people in what is now called England during the time of the Romans were not English tribes. They were Brythonic Tribes. This is a problem with North American people think it was England when it was not.

Well done bro, keep doing U man good vid, a lot more detail than most people who act like we are just another city somewhere in Britain, as if our history isn't as important to us as theirs is to them, well done man 👏✔👍👌😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Welsh is from the old English meaning foreigner. Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 means Compatriot which is connected to the Cumbria region and Alt Clut the modern Strathclyde..Ancient Brythonic peoples with other tribes long gone. The genetic linage of England around 70 plus % is off what are called Celtic ancient British peoples.

In WW2 the Navajo language was used by the U.S. military as a code on itself to baffle the Japanese that would have picked on the U.S. radio signals. In WW1 the British army used the Welsh language spoken by Welsh soldiers similarly as some sort of indecipherable code for the Germans secretly listening on the other side of the No Man's Land.

This was a very good video!
