From the very beginnings of Wales, its people have defined
themselves against their large neighbour. Wales: England's Colony?
shows, that relationship has not only defined what it has meant to
be Welsh, it has also been central to making and defining Wales as
a nation. Yet the relationship between the two nations has not
always been a happy one and never one between equals. Wales was
England's first colony and its conquest was by military force. It
was later formally annexed, ending its separate legal status. Yet
most of the Welsh reconciled themselves to their position and
embraced the economic and individual opportunities being part of
Britain and its Empire offered. Only in the later half of the
twentieth century, in response to the decline of the Welsh language
and traditional industry, did Welsh nationalism grow.
