Portugal controlled Macau and East Timor from the 15th to the 20th centuries, including during World War II. During the war, Japan invaded almost all the countries of Asia, including the colonial possessions of England (Hong Kong, Burma, etc) and France (Polynesia, Indochina, etc). What did the Japanese do about these Portuguese territories, if Japan was not at war with Portugal? Did they remain independent? Did people from Hong Kong use Macau as a safe haven, and people from Indonesia use East Timor as a safe haven?
