The British obtained sovereignty over the island in 1824, and Singapore became one of the British Straits Settlements in 1826.Occupied by the Japanese during World War II, Singapore declared independence from the United Kingdom in 1963 and united with other former British territories to form Malaysia, from which it departed two years later. Since then, it has developed rapidly, earning recognition as one of Four Asian Tigers.
