Wales

The dragon has been used in Wales for centuries to symbolise the spirit of the Welsh people in the face of continued attack from the English. It was only in 1958 that the flag was officially recognised although it has been used for centuries. The dragon stands against a flat green horizon. At times of war or revolt the horizon would be displayed as a hill since the dragon will be more effective in battle if standing on higher ground than the enemy.

Until the late 13th century, when it was conquered by the English army of Edward 1, Wales was an independent country. It remained as a conquered territory until 1536, when it was integrated into the combined countries of England and Wales by Henry the Eighth. Even today, Government statistics often give statistics for England and Wales as a combination, with the rest of the UK having its own statistics. Welsh people are still very proud of their heritage and 'Welshness', even though only a minority are able to speak their own language of Welsh which is mainly spoken in rural communities of North Wales. All road signs and official paperwork in Wales is bi-lingual - English and Welsh. Welsh people are classed as British in international law and travel on a British passport if travelling overseas.

Yes and no. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are the countries which together make up the United Kingdom and the people of these places are regarded as British in international law and would travel on a British passport. However, the people of these individual places might describe themselves as being English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish. The United Kingdom government is in London and the constituents of all of these places are represented by their own Member of Parliament. However, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland also have their own legislative bodies and are able to legislate on most things except for foreign, military and economic policy. Their status is similar to individual States within the United States.
England, Scotland and Wales, along with Northern Ireland are all countries in their own right which also exist as part of the country known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly shortened to just the United Kingdom or UK.

There are many mountain ranges in Wales - our mountains are not very high, but we have lots of them.

In the North the main range is Snowdonia, which includes Snowdon - the highest peak in EnglandandWales.

In the South the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains are both annoying (they make getting around difficult) and breathtakingly beautiful.

it was established through Parliament in 1998

Hard to answer, children are born every day ( though there are probably few in Snowwhatever ) and children die everyday. So to say the exact number of children would be really hard.

The origins of the Red Dragon flag, or "y Draig Goch", date back to the Roman period, when the dragon (or draco) was used by Roman military cohorts at the time of the Emperor Trajan. After the Romans left, the Red Dragon remained as a key emblem of Wales and there are accounts of battles against the Saxons under the Red Dragon.

The Tudors adopted the Red Dragon, and the Welsh-born future Henry VII took to the battle of Bosworth Field under the Red Dragon standard.

Principally England- parts of it were occupied by the Romans, but they weren't able to hold all of it, and only succeeded in remaining there at all by striking up peace treaties with regional warlords.

The Welsh succesfully kept the Saxons out following Roman withdrawal and the gradual invasion and settlement of England during the First Millennium by the Angles, Jutes, Saxons and Vikings. But they suffered heavily following the Norman Conquest of 1066- the Normans were hard-pressed to subdue the Welsh in the 200 years that followed, but following the death in action of Llewellyn the Great in 1285 (the only Welsh king to have truly succesfully united his country) they embarked upon a massive castle-building programme to keep wales under heavy military occupation.

The rebellion of Owain Glyndwr in 1400 threw English domination out and established Wales as an independent nation for 10 years, but this was finally crushed by Henry V in 1410. Thereafter, Wales remained under the English jackboot for nearly 550 years and was in fact amalgamated as PART of England under the Act of Union in 1536 (ironically passed by King Henry VIII, who was himself half-Welsh). It was only re-established as a seperate entity in Edwardian times, and it's flag has never been incorporated into the Union Jack.

From the 1960s onwards, Welsh nationalist activity and the formation of the 'Free Wales Army' (the Welsh equivalent of the IRA) has led to an increase in freedom for the nation. It now has it's own autonomous Assembly that controls all Welsh law except policing and criminal justice- however, hostility to Welsh autonomy remains rife in the English media, and you will never find fair and impartial coverage of Welsh affairs from the BBC or in English broadsheet newspapers.

During the first Millenium, Wales was also sometimes at war with Ireland, but in those days Wales was by far the more powerful military force and actually occupied the Central East part of Ireland for a long time, including the area that now incorporates modern-day Dublin. Relations between Wales and Ireland have always been volatile at best- many Irish dislike the Welsh more than they do the English, and the IRA only refrained from bombing Wales because it would not have attracted sufficient media attention rather than out of any sense of Celtic brotherhood.

Cracks in the rock got filled with water causing the expansion of the cracks. then rocks get broken off as it expands. The arch is formed only when all the rock is removed and stronger, harder rock is left over making the arch. Then (this will happen to the Green Bridge of Wales someday) as the arch gets bigger and biggger and bigger until the top of the arch collapses leaving something called a stack and then as the stack erodes leaving only a stump
