After the First Opium War (1839-42); Hong Kong became a British colony with the perpetual cession of Hong Kong Island; followed by Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 and a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898. After it was occupied by Japan in the Second World War (1941-45); the British resumed control until 30 June 1997.
As a result of negotiations between China and Britain; Hong Kong was transferred to the People's Republic of China under the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration. The territory became China's first provincial-level special administrative region with a high degree of autonomy on 1 July 1997 under the principle of one country; two systems. Pictures From History
