A Greater Chinese Empire (Touhou/History Mix)

<< < (14/14)

Karafuto: By the time Seiga arrived, the Battle of Shigisan had ended with a partial Mononobe victory. The Soga Clan were pushed Northwards, and the Mononobe clan went on to advance. The next major battle between the two clans took place on October 588, in the Mino Province, near OTL Tarui. During mid-battle, Seiga went to intervene and sided with the Soga clan. However, not wanting to see her clan lose, Futo entered the battle to help them out. After a few months of fighting, the battle ended in a huge stalemate, and Japan became divided between the Soga clan in the North and the Mononobe clan in the South. Despite this, Japan didn't remain divided for long. In the year 595, the Soga clan invaded Mononobe controlled Japan, with the help of Seiga, Tojiko, and Miko. The Mononobe clan was overwhelmed, even with Futo's help, and were suffering quick defeats. By next month, the Soga clan managed to defeat Mononobe no Moriya, leader of the Mononobe clan, and united the island nation. Further down South in Asia, Byakuren Hijiri begun launching an invasion of the Indian Subcontinent, after having united South East Asia. She had many successes early on, and managed to conquer the small Indian Kingdoms by the Eastern Coast, and also took Sri Lanka. Taking note of her expansion, the Chalukya Dynasty, Kingdom of Magadha, and the Kalachuri Dynasty all merged into one nation and established the Indian Empire. A few months after their formation, Byakuren had launched an invasion and begun storming through.  She wasn't able to get far, and begun to lose ground. A few weeks later, the Buddhist Monk went to retreat and called for peace. India agreed, and a treaty was signed with the Khmer Empire ending the war between them. Meanwhile in Europe, Yuyuko and Youmu had arrived in Frisia. Later, they aided the Frisians and fought against the Franks. Frisia had won and managed to gain control of OTL Netherlands and Northern Belgium. Then, just roughly One Hundred Years after that, Sekibanki appeared in Ireland, and went to unify the island. Both her and the Ghosts would not run into each other until much later. Back in East Asia, Goguryeo had managed to unify the Korean Peninsula under their rule. The Tang Dynasty was prospering and expanding, and had just annexed the Kingdom of Nanzhao.  When they started to invade Tibet however, Byakuren quickly declared war on China to defend the Buddhist nation. Within a few weeks, the Tibetans and Khmers were able to advance fairly well, and took parts of Southern China. Despite this, they soon were pushed back when Seiga herself entered the war on the side of China. The war lasted for three wars, and ended in a status quo, with neither side gaining anything. Tensions remained between the two empires, and both sought to expand their influence. The Indian Empire, sceptical of the Khmers, went to ally with China. Indonesia soon became a major place for conflict, with India and the Khmers constantly competing for influence. Miko and Tojiko, not wanting to get involved, had Japan declared neutrality. They would, however, begin expanding into Northern Honshu, Hokkaido, and OTL Sakhalin Oblast, and have some influence over the Ryukyu Islands. In Europe, there had been some wars and conflicts too. The Scandinavians had risen to become a decent power, and discovered Vinland. The Netherlands (formerly Frisia) was in peace with its neighbours, as neither the French or the HRE wanted to deal with Yuyuko and Youmu. The Irish had influence in Scotland and Wales, and protected them from the English. Aside from this, not much else had happened elsewhere in the continent and proceeded much like OTL for a while. In 1206, the Mongol Empire had formed and went on a series of conquests. China was taken by surprise, though they managed to mobilise their army and begun fighting against them. Despite this, the Mongols were able to have the upper hand for quite a while. In the meantime, they expanded into Central Asia, Siberia, Persia, and by 1245, made their way into Europe. Tibet was also invaded by them, which prompted Byakuren to have the Khmer Empire partake in the war against Mongolia. With this, Seiga Kaku was able to fight against the invaders without worry of invasion from the South. The Mongol Empire was eventually defeated and had collapsed in 1268. China had gained OTL Mongolia and a huge portion of Siberia, with the most far eastern parts, such as Kamchatka, were taken by Japan. Tibet was able to get portions of OTL Xinjiang and a tiny part of Central Asia. The rest of the former empire were split into three new nations. Shortly after the war, tensions between China and the Khmer Empire had been toned down slightly. Conflicts between both sides continued however, and shortly after discovering Vinland in the 1500s, had competed for colonies and influence there. At the same time however, Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland, and a few other European nations also had landed on the new continent, and were setting up their own colonies. They also begun to set sail for Asia, looking for new trade routes...

Karafuto: By the late 1500s, the Europeans made their way into Asia through a new route, by sea. The Portuguese were among the first, and went to establish trade with India, Cambodia, and China. The Spanish followed shortly after, and made their attempt to take the Philippines from the Khmers. Despite Byakuren's efforts, the Spanish were able to achieve a decisive victory against her, and went on to win the war. With the capture of the Philippines and the establishment of the Spanish East Indies, tensions between China and the Khmers begun to decline, though friendly relations wouldn't happen until later on. Later, in the 1530s, Yuyuko with a few Dutch ships went to visit the East. When the Ghost Princess had arrived in Cambodia, she ran into Byakuren, and were surprised to see each other. An hour of talking later, Yuyuko continued on her trip. She went to China next, and met with Seiga. After that, she travelled to Japan. Once there, she stayed a few nights and came across Miko, Tojiko, and Futo. Upon having a trade deal and an alliance signed with the three nations, Ghost Princess sailed back to the Netherlands, and would make frequent visits back as well. Meanwhile in the New World, there had been many colonial conflicts. Some examples include the Chinese and Spanish over Mexico and Central Vinland, the Dutch and English on the East Coast, the French and Irish over Eastern Canada. The Scandinavians also attempted to establish a colony on the East Coast and Nova Scotia, which were unsuccessful. In South Vinland, most of the area was divided between the Khmers and the Portuguese, while the Spanish managed to barley establish a colony in OTL Colombia. The Japanese colonised Alaska with no opposition and also colonised Yukon and a part of OTL British Columbia. A few decades later in India, the Scandinavians begun to set up their own trading company along the coast around Mah?. Soon, they also attempted to set up more ports along the Cambodian-held Indian coast. A few of these were successful, though the one they tried to set up around Bengal didn't go so well at first. The English, having arrived around seven years after the Scandinavians, also begun setting up their own company and ports. Seeing the Bengal area as profitable, the English went to pursue it. They then temporary teamed up with the Scandinavians and fought a war with Cambodia. They both managed to win, and selected their cities to set up their trade ports in. Serampore and Chinsura were taken by the Scandinavians, while the English took Kolkata. Shortly after the loss, the Cambodian Empire was on an Era of Decline. Starting in 1730, some rebellions had sprung up across Cambodian India. While some areas had minor ones, the major areas of protests occurred in Bengal and Southern India. The English saw an opportunity, and begun to fight over Bengal. Then, when they and Byakuren were fighting in that area, new states in South India had formed: the Thanjavur Kingdom and Madurai. The two states allied themselves with India, and had heavily built up their defences just in case the Buddhist Monk tried to go after them. They got lucky, as after the English won over Bengal, Byakuren was too exhausted and beat up to even think of regaining the lost areas. Starting to get a headache of the rebellions in India, she decided to just cede all of her remaining holdings there to the Indian Empire. Hearing about the events unfolding in South and South East Asia, Seiga decided to take a diplomatic visit to Cambodia. Upon meeting with Byakuren, Seiga seen that she was in a depressed state. The Hermit went to calm her, and offered to start having friendly relations, between Cambodia and China, and also an alliance. Byakuren, willing to cooperate, agreed and hugged her. Seiga blushed a bit, and hug in return. Shortly after the signing of the alliance, India and Tibet were offered to take part in it. They both agreed, and soon the Pacific-Indian Ocean Pact had been formed. In Europe, a few major events happened. England managed to take Wales, while Ireland and Scotland went to unite into the Celtic Kingdom. The Dutch had expanded to include parts of Niedersachsen and Nordrhein-Westfalen along with taking Luxembourg and the rest of Belgium after winning a major war against the Holy Roman Empire in the mid-1600s. Russia attempted to expand into Siberia, but upon running into China, the Russians ended up getting crushed by them, and quickly decided to end the expansion. In the Great Northern War, Scandinavia managed to take the Kola Peninsula and Karelia from Russia, though Poland-Lithuania still suffered a defeat. By 1765, the colonies in North Vinland were set in stone. France had control of most of Canada and the Louisiana Territory; the Dutch had OTL New England and New York; the English had the rest of the Thirteen Colonies not under Dutch control plus everything east of the Mississippi River; the Spanish had all the Caribbean, Mexico, and portions of the OTL Southwest US; the Chinese had California, the Oregon Territory, and Central Vinland; and the Japanese have the rest. The Celts ended up losing their holding of Vinland to the French sometime in the 1680s. In Oceania, the Srivijayans begun to colonise Australia, while China begun colonising New Zealand. Then, in 1778, the English colony in Vinland was the first to rebel, and the War of Independence took place. It resulted in a victory, and the United States had been established. A similar, though more peaceful, rebellion occurred in New Netherland a few weeks afterwards. Yuyuko was willing to let them go, only on the condition that they remained allied with the Netherlands. The New Netherlanders agreed, and were then given independence. France suffered a major revolution in 1789, and a the Revolutionary Wars followed. In 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte went into power, and set off another war, the Napoleonic Wars. Yuyuko had the Dutch side with France, while Sekibanki had the Irish side with the English. While England and Scandinavia was distracted during the war, India and its allies (Tibet, China, Cambodia, Thanjavur and Madurai) invaded the English and Scandinavian colonies. Despite England and Scandinavia's best efforts to defend the colonies, India managed to take and annex them in 1807. The Napoleonic Wars continued on, and by 1812, it was beginning to turn into a stalemate followed by a losing point for the French. The war lasted another two years before France and Yuyuko sued for peace in 1814. A treaty was then signed, and in it, France was able to keep a portion of Italy and the Rhineland while the Netherlands had to cede back the lands it gained during the war. Napoleon was to be exiled to St Helena. After the war, France went on to sell the Louisiana Territory to the United States for a total of 70 million francs. More independence movements sprung across most of the colonies both North and South Vinland starting in 1810. Mexico was the first to cede, followed by Venezuela, Brazil, New Ayutthaya (former Cambodian colony in South Vinland), Jiāl?f?n?yǎ (California), and New Quanzhou (Central Vinland). Canada and the Caribbean also had small rebellions, but were taken down by the French and Spanish military. New Shōtoku was the only colony to remain loyal to Japan. In 1830, a few issues begun to arose in Mexican Texas due to the increasing US settlers that were moving there. However, it was more than just that, and soon enough, a witch had landed in Dallas... (World by 1830.)

Dragomir7: Hi. I'm new to this site, after eight months of amateur playing and still trying to achieve a 1cc on IN Normal.  :blush: Just recently popped into this section, read a good couple of fanfics, and found yours particularly interesting in the way it bends the current timeline simply from some point in the past (divergence) and leading to vastly different worlds (and empires) on the way. The idea on using Mamizou's Time Machine to observe the future, then returning to intervene was particularly brilliant. Like it, ze! (Gets slammed by Alice...) So far, we have, other than the featured Seiga leading China: (Story 1) Mamizou leading Japan, Yorihime leading Luna (Moon), a murdered Reimu, and ZUN introducing Rin & Marisa to Windows (Story 2) Mamizou leading Japan, Futo as peace ambassador, an expansionist Prime Minister Reimu, and ZUN's works as above (Story 3) Futo leading Japan, An industrialist Prime Minister Reimu, Yukari leading Gensokyo (with other denizens Hina, Iku, Mokou?). ZUN's works as above, with also Tojiko replacing Futo and Byakuren replacing Mamizou (Story 4) Byakuren leading Khmer-India, Reimu as Japanese Defense Minister, Mamizou helps to avert a Sino-Indian nuclear war with Nitori's time machine, and Meiling as a Chinese space rebel (Story 5) Mamizou leading Japan, Futo ruling Japanese South America and Reimu ruling Japanese Panama (Story 6) Sekibanki leading Ireland, Reimu (then Mamizou) leading WW2-Japan, Yoshika as Seiga's underling, and an invincible Meiling leading Communist Vietnam (Story 7) Marisa leading Texas, Futo leading Japan, and Reimu as a Japanese traveller/ambassador (Story 8 ) Youmu leading Frisia (Netherlands?), Yuyuko as a wanderer, Tojiko, Miko and Futo as clan leaders (Story 9) Miko leading Japan (beating politician Reimu) (Story 10) Byakuren leading Cambodia, Yuyuko leading the Netherlands, possibly Marisa leading Texas, and Futo as a clan leader. So far, IMO, Stories 6 and 9 seem closely based on OTL. Some suggestions: Spoiler: In the next season, perhaps you can base some Touhou characters in South America, Africa, the Middle East and even Oceania? Or include some characters as pioneers in industry, philosophers and religious cultists (maybe some Flandre, Parsee or Shikieiki :D). That would create a really interesting quasi-Gensokyan world history. Bring ZUN back too, if OTL in 1998-2014 fits the plot. Looking forward to more interesting timesplit chronicles, and the redrawing of boundaries of empires. Thanks for the good read! Dragomir7

Karafuto: Those are some interesting suggestions, and will be taking a look into some of them Spoiler: (especially the industry, philosophers and religious cultists). Spoiler: On a side note, I already have a few ideas for South America, and will be the focus on one of the timelines within the next season. Thanks for the ideas! :) ------------ As months went by, the situation continued to grow. Taking note of it, Marisa decided to help fuel those who strive for independence. With this, the Texas War of Independence had begun to take place by 1833. The Magician led the Texans and achieved many victories against Mexico. Nevertheless, the war lasted for two years with a huge Texan victory, and managed to cede. A treaty was signed, and Mexico recognised Texas as independent. Elections were held in the new nation, with Marisa becoming President. With Marisa's power and influence, staying independent became a popular thing for the Texans. However, the US still had their eyes on them having planned to annex them. Once James K. Polk was elected President of the US in 1845, he made offers of joining the Union to Texas, New Netherland, and Jiāl?f?n?yǎ. They all declined, and a few weeks later, Polk declared war on them. This set off the Great Vinlandian War. Invasion of Texas proved difficult, as Marisa successfully repelled them off with her Mini-Hakkero. New Netherland and Jiāl?f?n?yǎ were somewhat easier to deal with, and it seemed victory was going to be achieved. However, after news about the war was heard, Yuyuko and the Netherlands quickly came to aid New Netherland, while Kaku Seiga and China came to aid Jiāl?f?n?yǎ. The US then saw heavy defeats, and were fully pushed out of the three nations. Unable to cope with their strength, Polk decided to surrender. A peace treaty was signed, ending the war, and returned to status quo.  After the war, Yuyuko and Seiga offered Texas an alliance in which Marisa accepted. In Asia, Thanjavur and Madurai had held referendums for the decision to join India in 1849. They both passed with a 87% and 89% majority, respectively, and following this, they merged by next year. In Japan, attempts to reform the system of government was met with opposition, mainly in the northern areas, and in 1860, a civil war broke out. Niigata, Tōhoku, Hokkaidō, Karafuto, and Reiuzi (Kamchatka) all ceded to form the Ezo Shogunate, led by Tokugawa Iemochi. Miko and Tojiko quickly led the invasion of the unrecognised nation. The Imperial forces managed to reach up to Sado and Sōma before facing a brief stalemate. The Tokugawa forces, while putting up a good fight, were slowly being pushed back. Nevertheless, they were successful in stalling them in quite a few battles. By the Third Month of 1862, the Imperial forces had managed to reach the city of Aomori. It took a week for the city to be captured, and the rest of Honshū just three days later. Following this, the Imperial forces went on and begun to fight the Tokugawa at the Tsugaru Strait. The Battle of Tsugaru Strait proved to be quite difficult for the Imperial forces. The Tokugawa ships had heavily guarded the entrance to Hokkaidō, and decently devastated the Imperial fleet. Miko ended up getting quite injured during the battle, and had to withdraw. Tojiko quickly escorted her to a health centre, where she would be looked after. In the meantime, some more fleets from Kyūshū, Shikoku, and Hawaii had arrived to fight against the Tokugawa. The stalemate continued for the next few months, to no avail. Upon Tojiko's return to aid the Imperialists, they went on to finally defeat the enemy fleet on the Fourth Month of 1863. With this, they landed in Hokkaidō at the city of Hakodate. Within weeks after landing, Hakodate was captured by the Imperialists. Hearing this, Tokugawa Iemochi went to flee to Kitatoyokawa (OTL Palana, Kamchatka Krai) and built up more defences around Karafuto and the Chishima Islands. It didn't matter much, as Tojiko was now using her full power to crush the opposition.  Hokkaidō soon fell under control of the Imperialist five months later, and despite the defences, advanced on. While the Imperialists were fighting the Tokugawa at the Chishima, Tojiko went to invade Karafuto first. Upon securing the island two months later, the ghost arrived back to once again to strike down the enemy navy. From there, the Imperial forces had arrived in Reiuzi (Kamchatka). Stalemates were no longer seen from this point on, and towns easily fell with the battles no longer lasting more than a week and a half. On the second week of the Eighth Month of 1864, the forces finally arrived at Kitatoyokawa. Tokugawa Iemochi, seeing as there is no point to continue decides to end the war and officially surrendered. With this, the Ezo Shogunate was annexed back into Japan, and peace was achieved. A few months after the war, Miko was fully recovered from her injuries, and went on with her plans to reform the government. In 1871, she created a constitution, and established a Parliament along with the Prime Minister office. The first elections were held a month later, and the candidates were Itō Hirobumi and Reimu Hakurei. In the Second Month of 1872, the results came back, with a victory for Itō, becoming Japan's first Prime Minister. Reimu would later become Prime Minister after winning the elections in 1886, however. Back in Vinland, the Spanish Caribbean had revolted again, aiming to declare independence. Spain went to try to suppress the revolts, though soon the United States got involved, entering on the side of the Caribbean Rebels. Marisa followed into the war on the side of Spain, shortly after the US got involved. The war continued for a year, and ended with a partial victory for the US. A treaty was then signed, in which Spain had to recognise Cuban and Hispaniola independence,  though Spain was able to keep the other possessions. Elsewhere, the Scramble for Africa had taken place, and the continent was divided between China, India, the Khmer Empire, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and England. In Europe, tensions were ever rising, and some predict a war would eventually come...

Karafuto: Tensions in Europe had reached a boiling point once Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, and setted off the Great War in Europe. While Sekibanki had Ireland entered the war on the side of the Allies right away, Yuyuko decided to declare neutrality. However, more trouble rose when the Zimmermann Telegram was sent by Germany to the US declaring support for them to take Texas, New Netherland, and Jiāl?f?n?yǎ. Fortunately, President Woodrow Wilson showed no interest in joining a war he'd know he would lose, and knew better to not mess with powerful people such as Marisa and Yuyuko. Nevertheless, the Netherlands, Texas, and Seiga's China declared war on the Central Powers upon hearing the German attempt to gain allies elsewhere. With Youmu, Yuyuko, Marisa, and Seiga themselves also taking part in the war, the Central Powers were defeated by August 1917. Following a few treaties, Germany was harshly restricted (like OTL) and Austria-Hungary was to dissolve. The Ottoman Empire, while they sided with the Central Powers originally, they managed to withdraw and signed a separate peace treaty with the Allies, and though they lost a bit of land, they managed to remain fairly intact. After the war, the Russian Empire suffered a revolution and was succeeded by the Soviet Union, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, had fallen to Fascism, while Germany soon came under control of National Socialists. In China, the Communists led by Mao Zedong and Hong Meiling led revolts against Seiga's China. With the help of Byakuren along with Indian and Cambodian support, Seiga was able to suppress the Communist revolts within two years and had the leaders sent to life in prison. In Japan, Reimu had plans to take the Philippines from Spain to put under her rule. When Spain had fell into civil war in 1936, Reimu quickly went and launched an invasion of their possession. Upon hearing of this, Byakuren sought to get back her former territory and declared war as well. The Shrine Maiden didn't take this too kindly and decided to declare war on Cambodia. This move not only had Seiga, India, and Tibet get involved and sided with Byakuren, but had disgusted Miko and Tojiko as well and caused them to intervene and forcibly cancel Reimu's plans and expelled her from the Prime Minister position. Shortly afterwards, peace was achieved between Japan and Cambodia with its allies, and Miko went on to have Japan join the Pacific-Indian Ocean Pact. Miko also had Japan's Prime Minister position was also held off for a few years until 1943 when elections for the position were able to take place again, with Shigeru Yoshida managing to win and became the first Prime Minister to succeed Reimu. The Philippines fell under full Cambodian control after a few months of war; and after the Spanish Civil War ended in Republican victory, the new Republican government had accepted the loss of the Philippines and recognised them as being a part of Cambodia again. Back in Europe, the Second European War had broke out already in 1939 with Germany invading Poland and Hungary taking Slovakia. Taking no chance this time around, Yuyuko and Youmu, along with Marisa had the Netherlands and Texas respectively entered the war alongside with the other Allies (British, Irish, French, and Soviets). The Axis were harshly pushed back, and was defeated within two and a half years. While the Soviets were able to secure Eastern Europe, Poland, Hungary, and the Balkans, the Allies managed to have all of Germany and Italy under their control. A Cold War then emerged, with the Comintern on one side and the  Allies on the other. When decolonisation took place, the Soviets funded a few revolutions in revolting colonies to gain more support for their side. However, while a few of them (such as the Congo, Kenya, and Angola) turned communist, most of them had crushed any communist movements, especially colonies previously under Indian, Cambodian, Dutch, and Chinese rule in which they had their help. Despite the continuous setbacks, the Soviets were determined to keep ahead of their game, and begun racing them to space. The Allies responded just as quick, and soon they had managed to launch the first artificial satellite (created jointly between China, Cambodia, Japan and India) and managed to get the first person in space (by both Pacific-Indian Ocean Pact and European Space Agency). The Soviets later responded and after much hard work and effort, managed to get people on Luna and had planted a Soviet flag. While it did shock the Allies that the Soviets were able to do this, a few of them, mainly Marisa, Yuyuko, Youmu, Byakuren and a few others were highly concerned of a possible Lunarian war against Earth. A few minutes later, the Soviets on Luna ended up running into the Watatsuki sisters. After a short conversation and with warnings from the Lunarians, the Soviets had withdrew their flag and quickly fled back home. This encounter ended up hindering Soviet morale and later saw a withdraw from the Space Race shortly after the Allies managed to get people on Mars. About a decade later, the Comintern had gave way and broke apart. The Soviet Union itself had lasted a while longer, before collapsing in 1992 and marked the true end of the Cold War. Since then, not much had happened and the world was more or less in peace. In the 2020s, some of the Earth nations such as China, Cambodia, India, Japan, Ireland, the Netherlands, and a few others had managed to establish friendly relations with the Lunarians. (World by 2014.) ----------------- In the first timeline of the Second Season, the point of divergence takes place around 1475, in OTL South America. As the Incan Empire was working their way up and expanding, a time machine soon appears. The doors open, and three people step out: Kanako Yasaka, Suwako Moriya, and Sanae Kochiya. They go on to explore and tour the place to study and understand the surroundings, but would soon find themselves in an interesting turn of events...
