The first Opium War (1840-1842) resulted in the Treaty of Nanjing which ceded Hong Kong Island to Great Britain. After the end of the Second Opium War in 1860,Britain forced the Ching Dynasty to accept the Convention of Beijing and the Tseenshatsuy of Kowloon was ceded to Britain. At the next unequal treaty in 1898, the Kowloon Peninsula, more than 200 islands adjacent to Hong Kong, and the bays of Shenzhen (the so called "New Territories" region) were officially leased to Britain for 99 years. According to the Sino-British Joint Declaration signed on December 19, 1984, concerning the Hong Kong problem, Hong Kong returned to Chinese sovereignty on July 1, 1997, and became a Special Administrative Region in China. Hong Kong's natural harbor and strategic location have made it one of the world's leading trade and financial centers. A gateway to China, Hong Kong has flourished as a major manufacturing base, excelling in the production of textiles, clothing and electronics.
