Since when was Hong Kong part of Japan?

Hong Kong was occupied by Japan from 25 December 1941 to 15 August 1945.

Wow, Not sure how I forgot that...

Quote
In the Second World War, Canadian soldiers first engaged in battle while defending the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong against a Japanese attack in December, 1941. The Canadians at Hong Kong fought against overwhelming odds and displayed the courage of seasoned veterans, though most had limited military training. They had virtually no chance of victory, but refused to surrender until they were overrun by the enemy. Those who survived the battle became prisoners of war (POWs) and many endured torture and starvation by their Japanese captors.

Us Brits will never forget 2nd Ypres, Vimy Ridge, the Dieppe raid, D-day, the Scheldt estuary, the Hochwald Ridge, and plenty more.

Unlike the ones I mentioned above, there were no Canadians at Hastings, I think.

No, but there were some wielding misshapen maces/swords that formed a early caricature of hockey sticks.

    back on subject....i just think the Japanese dislike the Iphone because it probably seems like 5 year old tech for them...

    heck we're by golly more advanced than them in space travel...landed men on the moon 40 years ago.
