The Journey's End - giving back Hong Kong / Stories to be tolled Bd.5 (ePub)

'History is...a matter of fact or perspective' (Tracy DW)

Influenced by her interest in history, her work on Black History projects and a desire to see a global approach and a balance of perspective in teaching history, Tracy DW presents 'The Journey's End - giving back Hong Kong'

The year 1997 may have marked the end of The British Empire and Britain's colonial rule around the world but it was the start of a new beginning for Hong Kong...Where is Hong Kong and how did Hong Kong become a British Colony? Why was Hong Kong so important to Britain and who brought about the end of Britain's control of Hong Kong?

This fifth story published in the 'Stories to be tolled' series presents a narrative of the colonization of Hong Kong and how this not only influenced Britain's modern foreign policy in the Far East but also Britain's relationship with China.

As a historian and educationalist, Tracy DW shares her learning journey with older children and young adults who want to learn more about Britain's colonial past in a way that is thought provoking, imaginative and engaging.

Through her writing she guides young historians through key events and mile stones in the Empire Phenomenon, 'Stories to be tolled' is a series of poetic narratives about Britain's colonial past; presenting a perspective on why the British took control of so many countries, how it maintained its power and its impact on the many ethnicities and cultures that were changed forever.
