Historically Hong Kong was part of China. Then in the 19th century - over a period of fifty years or so - Great Britain took possession of Hong Kong island, the Kowloon peninsula and then the surrounding area called the New Territories. Britain's lease on the New Territories expired in 1997 and the UK agreed to return Hong Kong to Chinese control.
