Arthur Neville Chamberlain was a British Conservative Party politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 1937 to May 1940. Chamberlain is best known for his foreign policy of appeasement, and in particular for his signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938, conceding the German-speaking Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Germany. When Adolf Hitler invaded Poland, the UK declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939, and Chamberlain led Britain through the first eight months of the Second World War.

BrExit cross-analysis - The point at issue

When Sir Winston Churchill was asked to form a new government in May 1940, the United Kingdom began the great fight back. 

Many historians admit the Battle of Britain was a narrow victory. The Royal Air Force defended the United Kingdom against large-scale attacks by Nazi Germany's air force, the Luftwaffe, with extensive help from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, as well as exiled Dutch, French and Polish pilots...

The United Kingdom and its allies had to wait a further 18 months, until the attack on Pearl Harbour stirred the reluctant giant into front - line action.

History of Hong Kong

Hong Kong (1800s–1930s) was a period largely dominated by the British Empire. After invading the territory in 19th century during the Opium War, the British gained land in a series of unequal treaties. Hong Kong became one of the first parts of East Asia to undergo industrialisation.

British Hong Kong denotes the period during which Hong Kong was governed as a colony and British Dependent Territory of the United Kingdom. Excluding the Japanese occupation during the Second World War, Hong Kong was under British rule from 1841 to 1997.

The colonial period began with the occupation of Hong Kong Island in 1841 during the First Opium War. The island was ceded by Qing China in the aftermath of the war in 1842 and established as a Crown colony in 1843.

The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 after the Second Opium War and was further extended when Britain obtained a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898.

Although Hong Kong Island and Kowloon were ceded in perpetuity, the leased area, which comprised over 90 per cent of the territory, had such a vital role in the economy that Britain agreed to transfer the entire colony to China upon the expiration of that lease in 1997.

The transfer has been considered by many as marking the end of the British Empire.
