Sun Yat-Sen:

Expanding the Further exile portion?

This section is a bit bare bones and it might be worth while to expand it a little further. Maybe including how he raised money for his revolutionary party or how those parties helped him is his release.

World War II By Country
Bahrain was bombed by Italians but there's not much more then that included in the article

Bahrain Edit:

The Sheikh of Bahrain declared war on Germany on September 10, 1939. On October 19 1940, four Italian planes bombed Bahrain to destroy oil refineries supplying the Allies. While it caused minimal damage to the oil refineries it did make the Allies increase the defense around Bahrain.

Fiji helped in the Solomon islands campaign and I would like to expand this portion.

Fiji Edit:

Fiji was a British colony during World War II. The Fiji Defence Force served with New Zealand Army formations, under the Allied Pacific Ocean Areas command. The Fiji Infantry Regiment fought in the Solomon Islands Campaign against the Japanese. Fiji also constructed many facilities such as airfields for Allied bombing runs, barracks and training grounds.

France has a very short section even though they were a major power in the early days of the war. I like the indepth sections but the overview is a little lacking.

France Edit:

France was one of the original guarantors of Polish security and as such was one of the first countries to declare war on Germany. On May 10 1940 Germany began their attack on France. After six weeks of intense battling, on June 22 1940 following the Battle of France, the French government signed an armistice with Germany, leading to the foundation of Vichy France and the Free French Forces in exile. The leader of the Free French, Charles de Gaulle, took control of France in 1944 and the country ended the war as an ally.

Hong Kong is also short even though it was the site of an important battle

Hong Kong Edit:

Hong Kong was under the jurisdiction of the British but came under the control of the Japanese after the gruelling Battle of Hong Kong drew to a close on Christmas Day of 1941. The Japanese turned many healthcare facilities into field hospitals to help injured soldiers returning from the Pacific theater. Strict food rations were also enforced and to keep the rations low many citizens were deported to China. By the end of the war Hong Kong's population had fallen form 1,500,000 to a mere 600,000. The territory was liberated in 1945.
