Wasn't Wales annexed by force into England while Scotland joined with England as an act of desperation following an amazingly incompetent attempt at setting up a colony?
- iso1631 4y agoWell there were two joinings. In the first one the Scottish King (James VI) took over the English throne after Elizabeth I died. King James then began to try to create a unified state, merging first the churches. Of course there was then that little Cromwell bustup, but after that James VII of Scotland was on the throne and causing religious grief, his daughter and her Dutch husband then took over.
- arethuza 4y agoWasn't that more like trying to merge the churches - or did I imagine the unique misery of Church of Scotland services at school? :-)
