I know that it was a tough period for a lot of families when the Japanese invaded Singapore

Numerous British soldiers were being captured and held in concentration camps

Many innocent people were being assassinated because they were thought to have been British spies

They gained the trust of the public’s through propaganda

There was starvation present

I want to know why it took so long for the British to end it (political reasons?)

Why did the Japanese choose to invade Singapore

How did the people survive?
