  • In the thousands of years of East Asian history, a very large number of states have come and gone. Some have left a prominent mark on the world, while others have faded into obscurity. But even if we limit ourselves to the past few centuries, there are quite a few countries in East Asia's modern history that you may have never heard of, and the circumstances that lead to their creation are quite fascinating. Let's explore!

    I can't believe you made a video talking about Tuva! I recently learned about them and have been desperately searching for more places to learn about them and their unique culture. They're basically Mongolian, but have been isolated on the other side of some mountains so they developed a unique and wonderful culture that still holds on to many traditions. Some day I hope I can travel there and learn how to do their wrestling, may the eagle fly ever free!

    Woah. Amazing to see Jaxa, Albazin, and Zheltuga mentioned. As it happens, I have known about these incredibly obscure bits of world history ever since I was a kid, entirely thanks to a novel in the Polish "Pan Samochodzik" mystery series. Though it's fiction, the mysteries were usually based in real history. Often unknown and underappreciated history, such as, indeed, the tale of Czernichowski and Jaxa.
    In the novel, the main character happens upon a loose page from a book that mentions a Polish man being the lord of a piece of land on the Amur, based in a fortress named Albazin, and briefly notes some of his dealings with the Chinese army. This is all he learns, but he is so fascinated by this little note, by the idea of some unknown Polish man being the ruler of a piece of land in the Far East, that he starts to obsess over it, much to the ridicule of his acquaintances. He decides to find out as much information about this as he can, before even going to the site himself to check out whatever remains of this infamous Albazin, that sparked such a frenzy in his life, with his very own eyes. If it hasn't come across, I really enjoyed the book, it's a pretty fun story of a man being incredibly single-minded in his pursuit of something incredibly obscure that only he cares about, but it's also very down to earth and grounded, really focusing on the human factor in all the stories that it tells and retells.
    Hearing those names here unlocked some deep seated memories. Loved that. Thank you.
    For the record, by the way, I'm not Polish, I'm Slovak. The novel series also got published in Slovakia, it was relatively popular here among young boys interested in history, such as I was...

    I would've given a brief mention of the various Chinese warlord states that arose following the dissemination of the Chinese Civil War and the subsequent creation of the those states. Shanxi and the Ma Clique come to mind, with the former ruled by Yan Xishan, who from brief reading, was not on any particular side during the Second Sino-Japanese War, though was in favor of the Nationalist Government. Ma Clique is interesting as it was a family, with the range of these warlords extending from Gansu to southern Xinjiang, they would also be the basis for continued Kuomintang resistance on mainland China following the large scale exodus to Taiwan well past 1949. Otherwise very nice video.

    • @SignoreGalilei
      @SignoreGalilei  2 года назад +6

      Yeah, I ended up lumping all the warlords together when I was talking about the factions in the Chinese Civil War because I found it hard to tease out who actually claimed to be independent and who just wanted more power within the Nationalist government.

      @@SignoreGalilei this is the issue with East Asian history. The definition of "country" and "nation" are inherently different from an European definition. In Japan, everyone fought to be the representative of the Emperor, but no one separated and formed their own country. The same thing happened in China; warlords, KMT, CCP, they all fought for the title of "ruler of China", trying to legitimize themselves and illegitimize the others, but they all regard themselves as Chinese.
      In East Asian cultures, there is the notion of "all under heaven" (天下), which really just means that there is only one country which your faction can control all or a part of. Different parts of the country could be given to various princes or warlords, with varying degrees of autonomy from the central government (if one even exists), and even have their own taxation, laws, and army. However, they are still regarded as one country (just a shattered one).

    Tibetan is the greatest on all of this list. In early medieval, they have a vast kingdom that covers parts of the Himalayas. While they of course known for their own Buddhism form (Vajrayana), they actually quite warlike. Even during Tibeto-Tang War, the force managed to sack region near Tang capital, Chang'an. After many centuries, the power started to dried out and the empire fractured into numerous kingdom. Some of them are later subdued by Yuan, Qing, and finally PRC forces as a whole.
    It's kinda sad that this empire unlikely to appear in pop culture, include Age of Empires 2 which based on medieval period. I heard that some Chinese historical comic were censored by the government and get the mention of non-Han kingdom changed. It is ridiculous since it was over from a millenia earlier and nothing to do directly with Chinese government (Maybe this is because of Free Tibet movement, but still, it was very old thing).

      @lati long however, tibet is considered separate from the qing not because they had little control over the region, but because it was formally separate too. tibet was regarded only as a qing tributary/protectorate, not a governorate like xinjiang. while the viceroyalty of new spain counted as a governorate as it was part of the spanish crown; tibet wasn’t a part of the qing crown lands. same with new france, france didn’t have much control there, yet the administrators saw the land as formally part of the french empire, not a protectorate or tributary. Also france did exist before louis 14, just that there were a few regions not under direct rule, however they weren’t tributaries or protectorates like tibet was.

      You're correct that the area was a protectorate under the Han and the Tang, but whether the Qing-Dzungar wars were a conquest or a reconquest the actions taken against the Dzungars were still tragic and preventable.
      As for the name 新疆, you are also correct about the translation but as with all place names you need to consider who named it and why. This is true whether you want to call it Xinjiang, East Turkestan, Dzungaria, or anything else.

Then it was settled by the Uyghurs (Kocho Kingdom) until the Chinese invaded and set up a protectorate under the Tang and Han, the Tang went on to lose control of East Turkestan for a thousand years after the Battle of Talas.
      The Turks ruled and lived in East Turkestan until the Qing conquered and subjugated it again, naming the province "New Frontier" and slaughtering the natives (Dzungar Genocide). The Uyghurs revolted many times to gain back their freedom: 1867, 1912, 1933, 1937, 1944.
      To this day East Turkestan remains occupied and it's natives are subject to persecution and genocide.

This move angered the Soviet government and began to directly incite the Kazakhs, Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang to rebel. In 1944, the Soviet Union successfully planned the Yining Incident and established the "Second East Turkestan Republic" to hold the actual ruling power of the present-day Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture. After the "three districts" forces merged with the Chinese Communist Party supported by the Soviet Union.
