Very well written,thank you.
Just like to point up prior to the 7 KINGDOMS,there is no central China,so you cant say it was broken into 7 kingdoms.
How did the republic manage to talk the folks in Mongolia,Tibet and Manchuria to join them?

Tai Ping Rebellion, not Tai Pei Rebellion. It lasted from 1850 to 1864 and resulted in the loss of at least 20 million lives. The Boxer Rebellion happened in 1900 and was arguably the first conflict that got the Americans involved (the British and French had been involved long before that).

As to your earlier comment, China was not an empire yet prior to Qin Shi Huang and the Qin Dynasty but it was still a unified kingdom of sorts. The Xia, Shang, and Zhou Dynasties existed prior to the 7 Warring States.

Actually to answer OP's question,Tibet at one time under its Dali Lama? suggested the Communist government handles their foreign affairs and let the Tibetans run their own domestic affairs,but the Communist government said NO.
What kind of foreign affairs do the Tibetans have??

United for so long? China has had a million civil wars, in each of them hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of people had died. From the late 1800s to 1949 the country was basically divided in a bunch of military cliques, divided by foreign powers (even countries as small as Belgium had a slice of China), or being occupied by China, and that's just Modern China. The Taiping Rebellion alone is one of the deadliest wars in human history, it's just that it happened in China so nobody gaf. Before that there were a ton of periods where there were like 2-20 countries fighting against one another non-stop. It's a people that specialises in infighting.

It has only been united from 1949 to now, and knowing China it mostly will go down that warlord road again at some point lol.

The OP has never read Romance of the THree kingdoms.



THe current COmmunist china is held together by fear and nationalism. If the economy and a natural disaster happens, they are screwed.

Are you sure? With the way XJP has consolidated power, a simple stroke or cardiac arrest would create a massive power vacuum, which could easily descend China into chaos, and ngl, it is more likely to happen to him than some other world leaders considering his body type and age (close to 70). Not trying to body shame him, but it is true that he is on the overweight side (an understatement). A combination of old age and obesity doesn't exactly invite a lot of confidence in one's health.
