Cofiwch Dryweryn = Remember Tryweryn So I really love learning the history of the British isles. Wales has been under English rule since the 1200s. The English officially annexed Wales 1543 after the last failed attempt for independence by the Welsh. I do not know much about what happened to the Welsh after this up until in 1900s, however, I do know the Government tried to stamp out the Welsh Language, which is currently according to the articles I have seen, being taught more in schools and is reawakening in the UK. But anyways, the context would be this; “In the summer of 1955, the people of Capel Celyn learnt their homes had been earmarked as the site of a new reservoir to provide water for Liverpool. This would mean destroying houses in the village near Bala, Gwynedd, and rehousing the villagers elsewhere. For almost a decade after the announcement, the villagers fought to save their homes, with protests and marches through the streets of Liverpool. The village could not be saved and in 1965 Capel Celyn was flooded, with 75 people having to leave their homes. Its 12 farms, school, chapel and post office disappeared under water.“ full article: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-64799911 (if you do read this you can also see the English perspective if you are interested that is.) (ALSO I DO NOT HATE ANYBODY FROM ENGLAND, I ACTUALLY HAVE FRIENDS FROM THERE AND THEY ARE GREAT PEOPLE. HOWEVER, I DO DISLIKE THE GOVERNMENT SO NOBODY TAKE OFFENSE PLEASE!) ALSO I HAVE TO MENTION THIS BUT I AM SAD MATPAT IS LEAVING. I do understand his reasons though and I am glad we will still see him once in a while once he is gone. Matpat will always be one of my favorite content creators and I will miss him.
