The Welsh are the people (and language) of Wales, the country in central western Great Britain. Wales is a constituent country of the United Kingdom.
Welsh rarebit (or rabbit) comes from 18th century Great Britain. The word Welsh was likely used because during that time in England, it often meant foreign or inferior. Others feel like it was given the name Welsh because of the high cheese content, which was common of Welsh dishes of the time. The recipe was first found in English cookbooks around 1725.
Henry VII promised the Welsh that he would honor their loyalty and support by granting them greater autonomy and privileges. He aimed to unify England and Wales under his rule, ensuring that Welsh interests would be represented in his administration. This promise was part of his broader strategy to secure support from various factions and solidify his claim to the throne after defeating Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
After the Battle of Hastings in 1066, Wales experienced increased pressure from Norman invasions. The Normans sought to extend their control into Welsh territories, leading to a series of conflicts and the construction of castles to solidify their power. Welsh princes resisted these encroachments, resulting in ongoing skirmishes and a fragmented resistance against Norman rule. Over the following decades, this struggle contributed to the development of distinct Welsh identities and political structures.
The battle fought was called the battle of the Welsh
Yes. Many men died fighting Germany in WW2. Every night Hitler sent rockets into London to bomb the city and Royal Air Force pilots fought the Battle of Britain ( you can see real film of these things). The British, Scottish, and Welsh were very brave in fighting Germany with the allies.
no such battle, there were many battles in Wales, but no battle of the Welsh.

They lent them or gave them military vehicles, planes, ships, weapons, ammo, and many American men went to England (but not the USSR) to fight in the Royal Air Force. They fought in the Battle of Britain right along with the Scots, Welsh, and English fliers/fighters. The USA also sent food and other supplies the UK needed. They did not have to send food to Russia.
Yes, he did. He fought the Welsh rebellion of Owain Glyndwr and in the battle of Shrewsbury in 1403, where he was badly injured by an arrow which left his face permanently scared.
