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.
