So in this timeline, as the Yuan Dynasty in China collapses in 1368, some loyalists and Mongol military personnel board ships that flee China across the Pacific. These ships eventually arrive in OTL California, and by the time Columbus arrives in the Bahamas in 1492, the self-proclaimed "New Great Yuan" have spread across half of North America, making peace with many native societies. The "New World" was still a "discovery" because the ships that left never made contact with the Ming dynasty, leading to the belief that the fleet had simply disappeared into the ocean. After Spanish colonists made contact with the NGY, it was realized that the ships that departed in 1368 were of Yuan origin. The decline of the NGY began when colonization of the Americas took off in the mid-to-late 1500s and early 1600s, with the NGY going from almost half of all of North America to only an area slightly bigger than OTL California.
