Best Answer

Japanese Imperial forces attacked Hong Kong which was defended by local, British, Indian and Canadian forces. The defending forces were heavily outnumbered and generally inexperienced in battle, and quickly overrun by the Japanese who eventually took the colony. During and after the battle the Japanese were guilty of numerous atrocities, including assassinations of captured enemy soldiers and rapes of women in the conquered territories.
