Nice! I'm not sure about the one about Hong Kong though - there wasn't any official ending of the British Empire because the British Empire never had any official existence. There were just lots of individual colonies, dominions, dependencies etc. That question would better be simply "Hong Kong handed back to China" or something like that.
