It is the time of 1997 in Hong Kong. Under the Sino-British Joint Declaration document, Hong Kong is being handed over to the People's Republic of China as a unique administration region making its way to 50 years of life. This was the last overseas territory of the British Empire that was given away, resulting in the collapse of a once glorious and valiant empire. The tiny United Kingdom remains a combination of four territories-England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The British still retain over 14 territories overseas. Nevertheless, how did the Empire decline, how was it formed, how big was it, and how did it grow so big? To answer all these questions, read through the book to find out fun facts and knowledge about a vast stamp in time.
