History (In-game)[]

Ming China[]

The Ming Dynasty of China had suffered under the Mongolians long enough, who are now broken up. The Chinese military ramped up its strength and size and launched a brutal attack on the Khanates. One by one, the Khanates fell. The Chinese military was fierce and brutal in capturing and holding the territory. This has been used as bragging rights and fear tactics.

After the wars, China calmed the newly conquered territory. Soon, the area was calm and integrated. The crime rate was higher than other places of China, but Western China was now fully Chinese. The Chinese increased its military and naval capabilities, along with relations with other countries.

China once threatened war with the middle east if the Silk Road wasn't opened, and for years, the Western borders were put on high alert.

Hostile tribes became a problem in Tibet, and China promised to help the peaceful tribes in return for loyalty to China. Hanthawaddy, instead of seeing a country helping a struggling community, saw a twisted struggle for Tibetan resources. Ironically, they decided to annex parts of Tibet as well. Soon, Tibet was split among the two nations.

China has a colony in Baja. It also had its only large scale war since the Mongolian Extermination with the Incans. The Chinese subjected the Incans and are still integrating the civilization into the Chinese Empire.

Russia has had a gruesome history with China, despite the fact that China probably saved them from the Golden Horde. This is why the northwestern borders are always on high alert.

China has become close friends with Japan, helping it during natural disaster and vice versa. During the skirmishes with Russia, China and the Ottoman's relations have increased.

When the Mughal Empire arose, China immediately went into full gear, trying to prevent the legacy of the Mongols from taking another life. All of Western China is ready to attack at the first sign of trouble. As of the 'False War', Chinese/Mughal relations have improved to the point of alliance.

In 1609, Hanthawaddy betrayed China and invaded. Russia decided to take the opportunity to invade as well, and China was on full defense, valiantly expelling the forces from their lands while calling on other nations for help. At the end of the war, all deals with Hanthawaddy were considered void until 1622. Full trade has recently been restarted.

In 1625, China declared war on the remaining Khanates. Since the Hanthawaddian War of Aggression, Chinese-Russian relations have increased due to deals to keep the peace.

In 1639, China went into civil war. Ming China versus South China soon engulfed the nation in revolution!

Qing China[]

The revolution had deposed the old Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was established. The first emperor immediately left out Hanthawaddy of its gifts to the neighboring nations due to the fact that his family died in the attack years ago.

One of the most important details regarding Qing China is that it was by far the most colonial dynasty. It showed this heavily in 1651, when it went on a conquest

of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. The war, which lasted upwards of twenty years, became the longest-lasting war in Chinese history due to the huge space between China and Central America.

In 1690, the wars ended. The Aztec and Mayan empires were destroyed and became colonies of the Chinese Empire. Also that year, Joseon's vassal, Manchuria, was having problems due to Joseon's new isolationalist policy. China offered Manchuria a deal, making Manchuria its vassal in return for protection and a better economic situation.
