== == Some were and some were not. British colonies in south East Asia, such as Singapore and Malasia, were attacked by Japan. the Germans attacked British territory in North Africa. Other parts of the empire were too far away to be attacked. There was also an attack by the Japanese on Hong Kong, as well as the very long and bitter fight over MALTA, and the German occupation of some of the Channel Islands, which of course were not colonial possesions.
