Wales is not an island; the whole length of its eastern side is stuck to England.
Wales did become politically independant for a while at the beginning of the 15th century under its leader Owain Glyndwr, who was crowned Sovereign Prince of Wales, he set up a Parliament, allied himself to the King of France, recognized the anti-Pope in Avignon, wrote to the King of Scots and envisaged 2 universities, one for the north and another for the south.
Wales in Welsh is Cymru not cymru.
Wales is not, and has never been, an island
There should be no apostrophe in ‘it’s own’, ‘It’s’ means ‘it is’. ‘Its’ means ‘belonging to it’
