The Isle of Man has played a unique and unusual role in the story of two World Wars.

Castletown is dominated by the medieval Castle Rushen, one of the best preserved medieval castles in Europe and ancient home of the Kings and later Lords of Mann. Tynwald, the Manx Government, was based in Castle Rushen by the 1500s and Castletown was the Island's capital until Tynwald moved to Douglas during the 1860s and 1870s.
