In March 1982, a war between Britain and Argentina broke out, when thenational flag of Argentina was raised on the Islands. After a fierce fighting of over one month, backed by world opinion, Britain finally won. Argentinasurrendered. It has been the largest battle in the Atlantic since the Second World War. Both suffered and were damaged heavily. But victory satisfied the nationalpride of the British as if it were still a Great Power. After the Opium War of 1840, China was forced to sign the Treaty of Nanking in which Hong K0ng was ceded to Britain. In 1984 an agreement wassigned between Britain and the People's Republic of China on the fortune of HongKong. Under the Sino-British Joint Declaration, which was ratified by the twogovernments in 1985, Britain is responsible for the administration of Hong Konguntil June 30, 1997.

With the exception of foreign affairs and defense,the Hong Kong SAR can enjoy a high degree of autonomy, and its governmentand legislature should be composed of Hong Kong people. In November 1990, John Major succeeded the Prime Minister. Like theformer Conservative one, the Major government believed that only firm basis for lasting economic growth and secure employment was sustainable for low in flation.

Firm monetary and fiscal policies were designed to de featin flation. With lower inflation and interest rates and an increase in export as the world economy recovers,the government expected to see a resumption of economic growth, although the timing was uncertain. In 1990, when Iraq committed aggression on Kuwait, the Gulf War broke out, Britain contributed personnel to the UN observer mission established tomonitor a demilitarized zone between Iraq and Kuwait, following the expulsion of Iraqi forces from Kuwait early in 1991, and sent observers to Western Sahara to participate in the referendum monitoring operation established there by the UN. With the Soviet Union dissolving at the end of 1991 and the radical changes in Eastern and Central Europe, the Cold War ended. Britain and its allies acknowledged that the threat of a full-scale attack on all NATO's European fronts has been removed. However, Britain believed that its security could be best protected by the continuing maintenance of collective defense with its NATO. ……
