Up until 1536, none- then Henry VIII signed the Act of Union which effectively abolished Wales as a seperate country and made it a part of England.
Wales then did not officially exist until Edwardian times, when it was disestablished. However, the County of Monmouthshire, on the South-East border, remained classified as a part of England until 1974, when boundary changes incorporated it into Wales.
Surprisingly, there was no violence or cross-border trouble over this, as most of Monmouthshire's inhabitants had always regarded themselves as Welsh and agreed with the decision. However, if the decision were to be reversed today, there most definitely WOULD be trouble!!
