hi their
this is my attempt at a hypothetical that's always interested me
Quote from Wikipedia:
The last king of Baekje, Uija, formed an alliance with Japan and made Prince Buyeo Pung and King Zenko stay there as their hostages. In 660, Baekje fell when it was attacked by Silla and the Tang Dynasty China. Former generals of Baekje, including Gwisil Boksin, asked Japan to return Prince Buyeo Pung and to provide military aid. In 663, Japan, supporting Baekje, was defeated by the allied forces of Tang dynasty China and Silla in Korean Peninsula (the Battle of Baekgang), and the restoration of Baekje ended up in failure.
This event is the earliest point i could see this happening, but something has always made me curious.
1: could a dual emperor-ship (like the polish-lithuanian one in europe) between these nations (as a deterrent against an expansionist china as a possible reasoning) work
2: if this could happen, how would the geopolitical landscape be changed.
3: if not is their any way point in time it could?
Thank you for listening to my curiosity questions
