About
This major history of Hong Kong tells the remarkable story of how a cluster of remote fishing villages grew into an icon of capitalism. The story began in 1842 with the original Opium War', after which the British built Hong Kong up to become a focus for investment in the region and an international center with global shipping, banking and financial interests. Yet by far the most momentous change in the history of this prosperous, capitalist colony was its return in 1997 to Mother China', the most powerful Communist state in the world.
