Answer:

Answer

The dragon has been used in Wales for centuries to symbolise the spirit of the Welsh people in the face of continued attack from the English. It was only in 1958 that the flag was officially recognised although it has been used for centuries. The dragon stands against a flat green horizon. At times of war or revolt the horizon would be displayed as a hill since the dragon will be more effective in battle if standing on higher ground than the enemy.
