Daibhidh,

I can't argue with you. Scotland and Wales were equally mistreated.

Only think I would add is that England has always been on a conquest streak: the early Kingdoms fighting against each other and with the Scots and Welsh; then the English participation in the Crusades, then into France and the One Hundred Years War; then into Wales and Scotland fulltime; then into Ireland; then privateering against the Spanish and into the New World; then all around the world.

The period of time between the Second World War and today is the only time England has existed without England having extraterritorial ambitions.
