The only ways I can see the Welsh being "assimilated" would be to either "flood" Wales with English settlers (though there's not much incentive for this as Wales was poor economically until the early-mid 19th century, and even then most of the economic activity was in the south east) or to have...

Anyway, two questions:
First: Are you planning to do...
