Location: Hong Kong, British territory in China

Year: 1912-60

Hello fellow time travelers, today I continue my journey through the years to find out more about the colonisation of Hong Kong, I am in 1912 and the Chinese revolution brings more and more refugees to the island making the population rise to 1.6 million people. On to the 40s I go, coordinated Japanese attacks devastate the island, leaving its population to only 600,000 people. I spoke to some of the people left and they told me that the Japanese regime was terrible and many of their friends and family died of starvation. Forward to the 50s and communism, this brings many nationalist immigrants into Hong Kong afraid of the communist regime, making the population boost to 2.3 million people.
