The industrial revolution in Wales
In 1801 Wales and mounmouthshire had a population of 587,245, fairly evenly distributed over the land, since the vast majority of the people were engaged in agriculture or in related occupation as the industrial revolution developed, and particularly after 1841 the rural exodus, accompanied by the of many which had supplemented the earnings of agriculture, led to an enormous concentration of Wales and mounmouthshire.
Trade unionism has long been a potent force in south Wales. The first important organization of miners and ironworkers was the union club, after its suppression in 1831 there came into existence a secret society, the scotch Cattle, whose symbol was a bull´s head and horns.
In the 1860s the amalgamated association of miners, a rival to the national miners union, ganied much support in Wales.

History of the United Kingdom
The title of the former political unity composed of:
-England
-Wales
-Scotland
-Ireland northern
Officially adopted on January 1st, 1801, when the act of union between great Britain and Ireland came into force. The name great Britain has been used since the union of the Kingdoms of England and Scotland in 1.707 as the official designation of the united countries.
When, in 1922, 26 Irish countries were severed from the United Kingdom and sended into dominion of the British empire under the name of the Irish free state, no provision was made in the act for any change in the royal style or in the title of the imperial parliament.
From 1922 onward, however, the tittle of United Kingdom of Great Britain and north ireland was frequently used in official documents to designate those parts of the British Isles represented in the imperial parliament, meeting at Westminster.
