THE ECONOMY IN WALES

Wales alternates landscapes of meadows and woods. In the interior, fodder crops predominate, linked to the breeding of livestock including cattle and sheep. In the suburbs, crops are combined with livestock farming (mixed agriculture) or specialize in fruit and vegetable production.

Primary sector

Industrial activity has historically been marked by the Black Mountains coalfield, long the foremost in Britain. Mining is now very modest, mostly in surface operations. The steel industry has abandoned the hinterland in favor of the coast, where imported minerals arrive. Several oil refineries have also been established there (near Swansea), and there are also metal refining industries.

Secondary sector

The tertiary sector has developed considerably, but remains dominated by activities related to the public sector, present in particular in Cardiff, whose University is in second place after that of London. Additionally, the national parks, protected sites and seaside resorts of the north coast are seeing notable tourist numbers, with a predominantly British clientele.

RELIGION , HISTORY, LANGUEGE

Before and during the Roman occupation Wales did not constitute a nation with its own identity, but all the populations of Great Britain and Ireland had the same ethnicity and spoke Celtic languages. Wales was divided between several tribes, the strongest of which were the Torpedoes in the south-east and the Ordovics in the north-central. They were the only ones who harshly opposed the conquerors. The first attack on the Welsh tribes was launched by the legate Publius Ostorius Scapula around 48 AD. The Roman commander first attacked the Deceangli of the north-east, who surrendered after mild resistance.

HISTORY OF WALES

Welsh is a Celtic language belonging to the subgroup of Brythonic languages. It is spoken in Wales and in the valley of Chubut Province, a Welsh colony in Argentine Patagonia. There are also Welsh-speaking people in many other countries, especially the rest of Great Britain, the United States of America and Australia.

Welsh language

In the 2011 census, 57.6% of the population defined themselves as Christian, compared to 71.9% in 2001. Among the various Christian denominations, the largest organization is the Church in Wales (Yr Eglwys yng Nghymru), autonomous since 1920 from Anglican Church and the Catholic Church.
