And so the great empire breaks. Ethnic religious cracks the line for the fractures.
So violent revolutions along the borders. Two becoming client states to Europeans. Hmm, there seems to be implications the tsar will not running Russia for very long. Another Great War casualty?
Good for the Mongols to resist an assimilation plot.
And the Qing aren't gong down without a fight as seen with the two crushed rebellions. I am guessing the core Chinese states will get an anti-Muslim streak with the Muslim breakaway states and them aligning with the West?
Bad move on France's part. Their lease has a rime limit even. Trying to Francify will only agitate the neighbors who it would e better to pacify with the thought if they are patient they will get the city back. Also I expect many even in Yucatan are not enthused at the idea of the French being parked permanently at a major gulf port.
While the Qing are being pressured on all sides, it's not like they can't win any victories with British support and the overwhelming numerical superiority. The reason the Hui and the Nian lost their revolutions was because they were poorly-led and highly disorganized. If they had an effective leader and some semblance of unity then they could've won.
There will be large anti-Islamic and anti-Christian sentiments in Qing China after the wars thanks to the efforts of the God-worshipers and the Hui Muslims.
France is doing this because they are mostly expecting Mexico to break apart and possibly descend into civil war. While Juaerz has had a good track record, he hasn't really trained anyone for succession yet and Mexico hasn't really had any good experiences with the replacement of strongmen like Santa Anna and Juarez. It's another idealistic thought that Veracruz will want French stability over the chaos of Mexico. Yucatan is mostly okay with this for now since they're trying to recover, but eventually they will want Veracruz for themselves.
Will Yaqub Beg try to incorporate the Hui region into his domain in the future?
Not for now no. He's got thousands of miles of Qing territory between Xianjing and the rest of Hui China in the South. It's best for Xianjing to play defense in the steppes then go on the offense. Plus there's the fact that Yunnan wants to be its own independent state.
What country is Charlie Kai-Shek president for? Texas?
Yes he's the President of Texas. He's also this guy:
I'm surprised no one made any remarks about the appearance of Kim Il-Sung, I would've thought that would at least raise a few brows.
