The Japanese attacked Hong Kong in 1941, because it was one of their first targets in their Centrifugal Offensive Operation following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese attacked Hong Kong simultaneously with other objectives, and in spite of its formidable defensive fortifications, resistance crumbled on Christmas Day, 1941. The battle lasted only 17 days, from December 8th, to December 25th, 1941.

The Battle of Hong Kong took place from December 8, 1941 to Christmas day of the same year. The incident was located on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.
Hong Kong, then a British Crown Colony, was invaded by Imperial Japan. The British accepted help from the Canadian government, which sent troops to bolster British presence.
The Japanese attacked with horrible brutality, even by that day's standards. It was reported that the Japanese soldiers attacked and pillaged British field hospitals, killing and torturing wounded soldiers and medical staff, an action that was considered immoral at the time and is forbidden by United Nations in wars today.
Knowing furthur resistance was futile, the British and Canadian forces formally surrendered on December 25, a day known as "Black Christmas" in Hong Kong.
This began the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong. The Japanese terrorised the public, murdering and pillaging, for three years and eight months until British forces liberated Hong Kong in 1945 and resumed control of it as a colony.
Japanese General Takashi Sakai, who led the invasion of Hong Kong and subsequently governed it for a time, was tried as a war criminal and executed on September 30, 1946 in Nanking, China with an audience consisting mostly of Hong Kongers. It was said that the Hong Kong viewers cheered and "...practically destroyed his body after the execution before Chinese security were able to hold them back..."
A Hong Kong legend tells of the day "...when the Hiroshima bombings occured, [that] the entire populace of Hong Kong smiled and cheered...for the first time since Christmas day of 1941..."
