« Home Rule All Round » : l’éveil d’une identité politique galloise

Abstract

Annexed by England in 1536, Wales experienced deep political changes in the late 19th century, especially the awakening of a Welsh national consciousness. It led to the emergence of nationalist feelings, mostly inspired by members of the Liberal Party who set up Cymru Fydd, an association asking for Home Rule for Wales. The movement was a failure and the question was left aside by the Liberals until the newly created Labour Party, especially Keir Hardie, included the issue in its agenda.
