The Welsh speaking part of Argentina is called Y Wladfa. It dates back to the 19th century when the Welsh language and Welsh culture were being oppressed by England (children would literally get beaten by teachers at school if they were caught speaking Welsh). So a group of Welsh people got permission from the Argentinian Government to settle in Patagonia and they would be free to speak Welsh there.

A lot of us Welsh people do not want to soil our dragon by putting it on the Union flag. As for Argentina speaking the Welsh language I believe it is because of the Welsh people who left Wales to start a new life back during early times of colonization and they brought their language with them.

Many people emigrated from Wales (especially North Wales) to Patagonia in Argentina to escape religious and ethnic tensions in Wales. You can still find Welsh speakers in Patagonia, the common Welsh surnames of Jones, Griffiths, Williams, Hughes and Roberts still exist over there. Some years a few Patagonians come back to Wales for the Eisteddfodiau. An Eisteddfod (eistedd is Welsh for sit) is a cultural event celebrating the music and poetry of Wales. There are National, youth (Urdd) and International ones annually and of course held in the Welsh language.

The Brit's we a tough army during earlier centuries in Europe. One of the biggest reason was our longbow men. And the best longbow men in the army were the Welsh so it might not have been a bad idea to run as far as you could when you saw a Welsh flag.

I always felt the Union Jack should have 4 simple thin green angular lines, like the existing red one's, on top of the white outside edge of the X, to represent the grass on the Welsh flag, as the 2 other colours, red and white, are already included.

Little known fact: Apart from Wales and Bhutan, there’s a third country that has a dragon on its flag, though it’s easy to miss. It’s Malta - the Maltese flag is just a vertical white and red flag, but in World War 2 the island was awarded the George Cross for its heroism in withstanding the German and Italian blockade, so they put the image of the George Cross medal in the top left of the flag, and in the middle of the cross is depicted the story of St George killing the dragon….

You got the reason for the Welsh language in South America spot on mate

The word "Welsh" is a derivative of an Anglo-Saxon word that means "foreigner" and is from the same root as "Gaul", the name for the Celtic tribes and the land where they lived in Roman times, what is now France. The W is replaced by a G in many English words. For example, Guillaume (French, pronounced gee-yome, with a hard "g" not a soft "j" sound) = William in English. The Welsh call themselves Cymru (pronounced Cumree)- derived from an old Celtic word meaning fellow-countrymen.

Proud Welshman and thank you for acknowleding how great our flag is :). You ask in the video if we learn about Henry Tudor and the answer is yes. Henry Tudor goes on to be King Henry VII father of King Henry VIII (the man famous for having 6 wives) and father of Elizabeth I. Henry Tudor became King after winning the War of the Roses which saw the House of Lancaster and House of Tudor pitted against the House of York and as mentioned in the video the dragon was the flag for Henry Tudor. If this all sounds familiar then consider replacing the House of Tudor with and House of York with "The Lannisters" and "The Starks"... and of course dragons and you see where GRRM got his ideas from ;)

The reason why Argentina has a Welsh community in Patagonia, Welsh people the immigrated there in 1865.

A bit of help, the Britanic people were the Celts and the anglo Saxons invaded a bit like the vikings, generally the Celts are welsh and English people come from the Anglo Saxons.

Owen Glyndwr was a bandit. Remember WE WON - Henry VII (Henry Tudor) beat the lot. Hence the Tudor dynasty (Elizabeth I, Henry VIII etc.)

All those stripes and crosses on European flags mean stuff often religious orders of knights and other national symbols or regional symbols

Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain - ROYGBIV The way to remember the order of colours Red/Orange/Yellow/Green/Blue/Indigo/Violet - to all kids in England - Probably the UK. Richard of York was Richard the 3rd, who lost to Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth, he lugged that flag about. William "Billy Shakes" Shakespeare did a play about him,

Why over-complicate it? Why does the Union Jack need to incorporate the dragon? Make white vertical and horizontal bars of the Union Jack the yellow from St. David's flag. It would maintain the symmetry, adds Welsh representation and would look cool.

Yeah the format of the video words it pretty confusingly, but the red and white dragons in Welsh folklore are symbolic of the "conflict" between the Saxons and the Britons (the English and the Welsh) during the colonisation of Wales. Welsh people, as a rule, don't really believe dragons are real😂

So the video glossed over that the main reason why Wales isn't represented on the Union Flag is because Wales had already been annexed into the Kingdom of England all the way back in 1283. The first union flag wouldn't be designed until centuries later, and today the flag is meant to symbolise the uniting of kingdoms - namely England (of which Wales was also a part), Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Officially to this day, Wales is still on paper a Principality, and a part of the Kingdom of England. This is all very technical though, and very few today would try to deny Wales the status of a country in its own right - part of a wider union, but distinct in its own right, and bringing dragons.

Annexed to England with laws of Wales act in the 16th century. Not 1280s, Wales was free of English occupation from 1400 to 1536. And was joined to the kingdom of England in peace time, not through conquest. Wales was never conquered by England, just a myth told over and over again.

A good flag can be copied by small children. If it tells a good story about the country too - even better. Take the (not so) new South African flag: lots of shapes and colours, interesting to a little child who can hold a creyon, and at the same time telling the story of being of many shapes and colours and making up one nation.
