I've always wondered what the various realistic alternatives to the whole Yuan Shikai -> warlordism -> Chinese Civil War route which China took after the fall of the Qing. Now what sort of entities could replace the weak Manchurian dynasty? A Confucian quasi-theocracy under the Holy Duke of Yen? A new, genuine Han dynasty? What do you guys think is possible with a POD of 1900 at the earliest?
