The Isle Of Man's history has stretched since the Mesolithic Period via the Neolithic Period, Bronze Age, Iron Age and ending with the Viking settlement. The Isle of Man has an amazing history. One example of this are megalithic monuments during Neolithic period, and these even are around the island.
To continue, at the end of the eighth century was the age of Vikings. They established the Tynwald and made many land divisions that still exist. In that time the islands of this kingdom were called the Súðreyjar or Sudreys ("southern isles").
In 1266 with the Treaty of Perth, the isles were ceded to Scotland by Norway's King Magnus VI . The Isle of Man was under English control in the fourteenth century. 1703 was the beginning of feudal government thanks to the Act of Settlement. Then since 1765, the British Crown secured a greater control over the island, without incorporating it into Great Britain, laying the grounds for the island's status as a Crown dependency.
Thanks to that autonomy in 1866 they were restored to the island's parliament and a full transition to democracy began. Quickly the isle developed as a tax haven and tourist centre, becoming increasingly prosperous during the 20th century. During the First and Second World Wars this island was a location for camps for axis citizens and suspected sympathisers.
