Local clans resisted British administration in 1899, fearing for their traditional land rights, leading to the Six-Day War.
Although the convention became effective on 1 July 1898, the British did not immediately take over the New Territories. In 1899, clans mobilized militias, previously organized to protect against pirate raids, to resist the British during the Six-Day War.
