Jersey is one of the Channel Islands, which means that it is located between the United Kingdom and France. The population density is approximately 100,000 people in an area of 119.6 square kilometres. The capital of Jersey is Saint Helier. The cityscape is characterized by a mixture of French and English culture. During the Second World War the island was under German occupation, which means that buildings in the typical German style of that time can be found on the island.

Jersey was originally part of the Normandy possessions. When William the Conqueror conquered England in 1066 and became King of England, it changed hands. The Channel Islands became part of the United Kingdom, or were one of its colonies. Currently, about 100,000 inhabitants of Jersey speak a mixture of English and French.
