The following are all translated by myself. Oh, the landlord has put them away!

The last paragraph has some island names. I didn't know how to spell it correctly, so I spelled it myself.

A long time ago, Singapore was called Temasek, which means "a city by the sea". Later, when a prince in Sumatra passed Temasek by boat, he thought the tiger was a lion. So Temasek changed its name to Singapore, which means "City of Lions" in Hindi.

In order to compete with the Dutch forces in Southeast Asia, Britain sent Raffles to find a port base. 18 19, Raffles and his attendants came to Singapore. Then history changed.

In the 9th century, Britain developed Singapore into a commercial seaport. More importantly, Singapore was located between China and India, which was then a British colony. Therefore, there are many immigrants, most of whom are from China.

In World War II, Britain took Singapore as its base and tried to counter the Japanese army. But in the end, the British army was defeated by the Japanese with much fewer troops. The Japanese occupied Singapore for three years and eight months. Singaporeans realize that only with autonomy can they survive. 1965, under the guidance of Lee Kuan Yew, after many difficulties, the Republic of Singapore was born. Since then, Singapore has been rebuilt as an economic power with industry as the main economic pillar, supplemented by service industry and trade.

The first historical record about Singapore was in the 3rd century, when China called it Pulochong, meaning "the island at the end of the peninsula". At that time, people knew little about Singapore. This fact masks Singapore's colorful past. At the end of14th century, it had become a part of a powerful Sri Lankan state. They call it Temasek, which means "the city by the sea".

This term is as appropriate as that of the 3rd century. This important city located in the south of Malaya has always been visited by many ships, such as China's sailboats, Indian ships, Arabian sailboats, Portuguese battleships and so on.

In the14th century, the city as a stronghold ushered in her new name-Singapura or "Lion City". It is said that a visiting Sri Lankan prince saw a wild animal here and took it as a lion. After that, Britain gave the story another important brush stroke. In the18th century, they needed a strategic stopover to provide services and supplies for the empire's growing marine corps. It is in this political background that knight Stanford Raffles shaped Singapore into a trading post. The free trade policy has attracted many businessmen from all over Asia, even some from the United States and the Middle East. By 1824, that is, three years after the establishment of modern Singapore, the local population rose from 150 to10,000.

1832, Singapore became the administrative center of Penang, Malacca and Singapore Strait colonies. Then in 1869, the dredging of Suez Canal and the invention of telegraph and steamboat enhanced Singapore's import and became the center of East-West trade.

In the14th century, Singapore was involved in the Malayan War between Siam (now Thailand) and the Majapacht Empire in Java. So its territory became a part of the battlefield.

Five centuries later, Singapore was involved in World War II. Although it was considered an impregnable fortress, it was still occupied by Japan in 1942. After the war, Singapore became a dependent colony of Britain.

With the rising of nationalism, the autonomous government was established in 1959. 1On August 9, 965, Singapore gained independence.
