Time and time again, Wales- a country with its own language, heritage, culture, war heroes, artists, rugby players and idiosyncracies- has been referred to as being a part of England.

In France and the Spanish-speaking world, there is a tendency to refer to the United Kingdom as "England", neglecting the existence of a whole other three nations. This habit of political incorrectness has become somewhat global, and is a reference which insults the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish whose countrymen active in British politics or history are either ignored or referred to as English.

The following petition revendicates the right of recognition of Wales as an independent part of the United Kingdom, and not England. Therefore, it symbolises a protest against the reference of Wales as being a part of England, or the use of the terms England and anglo-saxon (in whichever language) to designate the United Kingdom.

Hence, we address ourselves to the publishers of the books "Histoire du XIXe siиcle" by Berstein and Milza, "Le XIXe siиcle 1815-1914" by Heffer and Serman, books-supposedly accurate and politically correct although in vain- which contain the repeated error of referring to the United Kingdom as England.

Le Pays de Galles-un pays avec sa propre langue, son propre patrimoine, sa propre culture, ses propres martyres, ses propres artistes, ses propres joueurs de rugby et ses propres particularitйs- ne cesse dкtre perзu comme une partie intйgrale de lAngleterre.

En France et dans le monde hispanophone, il y a une tendance а se rйfйrer au Royaume-Uni comme йtant lAngleterre, nйgligeant lexistence ou la reconnaissance de trois autres nations. Cette habitude dexpression politiquement incorrecte, est une insulte aux Gallois, Йcossais, et Irlandais du Nord, les compatriotes desquels actifs dans la politique ou lhistoire britannique sont ou ignorйs ou appelйs anglais.

Cette pйtition revendique le droit de reconnaissance du Pays de Galles comme une partie du Royaume-Uni, indйpendante de lAngleterre. Ainsi, elle a comme bыt une protestation contre des rйfйrences qui supposent que le Pays de Galles est une partie intйgrale de lAngleterre, ou qui utilisent les termes Angleterre ou anglo-saxon (dans nimporte quelle langue) pour dйsigner le Royaume-Uni.

Enfin, notre pйtition sadresse aux йditeurs des livres Histoire du XIXe siиcle de Berstein/Milza, et Le XIXe siиcle 1814-1914 de Heffer/Serman, livres- supposйs йduquer et tenir un discours acadйmique politiquement correct- qui commettent lerreur de se rйfйrer au Royaume-Uni comme lAngleterre а plusieurs reprises.
