manchuria

Recently, reading some threads around East Asia in the 19th century, I've came across several points I find interesting, and now I would like to organize these multiple PODs to elaborate a more specific discussion Overall, the main idea is that the Japanese Invade Manchuria as usual during ww2...

Assuming there are no Manchu; Mongolia and the land that became Manchuria would not go on to be centralized under the Qing dynasty, as the Ming dynasty either falls in civil war or manages to recover and limp on. Is Russia likely to expand into those lands in the 17th and 18th centuries? In our...

what if Russia fashioned itself towards the Qing & Joseon, perhaps if they won against the Qing during their border skirmishes, and successfully Russified the entirety of the Amur Basin / Manchuria

Back in 1858 the Qings were fighting Hong's Taiping Heavenly Kingdom since 1850 and also where on the course of losing the Second Opium War, Seeing this context Russia threatened to invade if the Qings were not to cede the northern half of Outer Manchuria. Qing China agreed and ceded the...

This region that's shaded in yellow and red, is sparsely populated, and currently only has a population of ~4M people. What's the maximum population that it could realistically sustain?

Hello, this thread is for a timeline I thought up which will primarily be explained through fake wikipedia-style pages and various graphics. It focuses on the idea of a large Japanese Empire which is democratic and less antagonistic or aggressive. There are some other divergences in the rest of...

OTL, with the defeat of the KMT and the flight to taiwan, the US Navy and USAF was a big part in keeping the country alive, even after we stopped actively recognizing it. So, i was wondering if in a KMT victory, the Soviets could use the Red Army and the air force to keep the communist forces in...

Let's say the Qing/Later Jin are defeated by one of the Chinese factions during the fall of the Ming Dynasty (Shun, Xi, Southern Ming), and we'll say it's a very costly defeat with multiple banner armies wiped out entirely. What is the likely outcome for the areas imediately north of China? Are...

Some context: Competent A-H fends off Brusilov offensive, no German USW, February Revolution still on time, no Kerensky Offensive, no October Revolution, armistice in late 1917/early 1918, negotiated peace in 1918. Russia only loses Poland (sans Suwalki). German Asia-Pacific possessions have the...

Nothing says the territory controlled by the Qing dynasty necessarily had to get extensive as it did, at least AFAIK. Your challenge is to have the Qing empire consist solely of Manchuria, China proper, and Inner Mongolia.

During his husband period as Italian consul in Shanghai Edda Mussolini, daughter of Benito Mussolini, have had an affair with the Chinese General and Warlord of Manchuria Zhang Xueliang. She ended up returning to Italy in 1935 with his husband and lived there until her death in 1995. What if she...

Like the title says, what're the consequences plausibly imagined of Russian Manchuria or at least North-Eastern China held by Russia? Will it result in strong Russian presence in North-East China, part of modern Russia or creating a unique characteristics of the region influenced by Russia...

I have this strange Alternate History TL idea that is been on my mind for some time. The premise is a Russophone East Asian nation and a former Soviet republic situated between China, Russia and North Korea. It comprised of Northeast China and Eastern Inner Mongolia with the population of over...

If the Russians win the Russo-Japanese War, what would happen to Korea? Would they try to outright annex Korea like how they expanded in Central Asia or would they just kind of leave them be? Would Korea be able to industrialize under the Russians or would they remain an agrarian, obscure country?

Let's say that Russia, around the 1850's-70's, grabs the whole Manchuria from the Qing, also guaranteeing Port-Arthur. Considering that the area was very lightly populated back then and is able to sustain a big population with its natural resources - today Chinese Manchuria has more than 100...

After months upon months of planning, plotting, working and hiatuses of various length, I'm very pleased to be kicking off my first fully fleshed out timeline, The Manchurian Candidate: Asia and the Wider World. This thread will serve as the centerpoint of my timeline and the continuining...

I've mentioned something similar about consequences of industrialised China here back then. This is a scenario where Imperial China, whether under Qing or other dynasties ruled under Han Chinese, succeeds in industrialisation. What would Manchuria looked like in an industrialised Imperial China?

IOTL, in the 19th century, droves of Han Chinese started pouring into Manchuria, violating the Qind Dynasty's edicts in regards to settlement and thus forcing them to be revised. The region then saw a boom in population and industry, and is now a quite developed and majority-Han part of China...

What if during Russia's siberian expansion they conquer the Manchu and the land north of the wall before the Manchu conquer China? I guess the Ming would be dealing with their own chaos and decline so the Manchus are on their own but it also means the Ming would get replaced by a non Manchu...

Like the title says, what would be the best case scenario for the Qing Dynasty in the 19th century? China under the times of Early Qing were at the most powerful at their zenith under Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. After Qianlong, Qing China is no longer the great empire it once used to be and...
