The Battle of Hong Kong 1941 with Craig and Eric

The Battle of Hong Kong 1941 was a significant battle during the Pacific War that saw Chinese, British, Indians and Canadian fighting off a Japanese invasion of Hong Kong.

▶️In this documentary we will explain the Battle of Hong Kong 1941 which was performed the same morning as the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Empire of Japan invaded the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong which was defended by Chinese, British, Indian and Canadian forces.

▶️The Battle of Hong Kong lasted from December 8th-25th ending with “black Christmas” when Hong Kong was surrendered to the Empire of Japan. This full documentary will cover the history of Hong Kong, why the battle of Hong Kong occurred, why it was an important target for the Japanese empire, a complete rundown of the entire battle day by day (animated battle map, battle footage), how racism played an interesting role in the battle for both sides, the brutal military structure of imperial Japan, what the occupational years were like, what resistance was like during 1941-1945, an explanation on the atrocities performed by the Japanese forces and the lasting effect the battle held over the Pacific War and World History.

▶️The guest speaker Eric is a fellow History Major that studied with Craig from The Pacific War Channel. Please check out our previous discussion on Amazing and lesser known facts about the battle of Midway.
