I was about to comment before watching that this better have throat singing galore, and then it immediately starts with throat singing. I love this channel.
Thank you very much for your content. As a Mongolian, it's very accurate and insightful. Hope many Chinese will watch it and stop distorting history, claiming Khubilai khaan and Yuan's dynasty are Chinese.
@@Brandonhayhew I think its intentional. The Manchus really dont want their regime to last as short as the Yuan so they adopted the opposite of the Mongols' policies.
weird discourse, the open policy is basically attributed to the enormous territory of the Mongolian Empire and the weakness of surrounding states. They saw no threat from the sea. However it was that loose policy that generated the devastation of Mongol interiorly rather than exteriorly.
I hope you are able to do Videos on the Han, Tang, and Ming Dynasty Emperors someday in the future! Your Work is most Enjoyable and Informative to watch!
Thanks so much! After the Yuan series (in which I won't cover each emperor because most only ruled for a short time), I think I'll do each Ming emperor like I did with the Qing :)
As a Mongolian, i don't like that Khubilai abandoned the development of Mongolia and lived permanently in China. I would say he was opportunistic because China had infrastructure and manpower as well as nice taxing.
18:04 Maybe this explains why there are so many Southern Chinese overseas. Love your videos btw, discovered your channel last week and currently on a mission to watch every single one. There are not a lot of historical videos that focus on the Qing Monarchs. So I am thankful you are making them plus I am learning lots!
Just a few clarifications on the Mongol pronunciations: The name "Mongke" is pronounced more like "Munk" and "Ariq Boke" like "Areeq Bohe" in the Mongolian language. Your pronunciation of Khublai was pretty close. When Mongolian people say the name, they pronounce it like, "Hu Bu Lay". The ones you used here are closer to the Chinese pronunciation of Mongke and Ariq Boke, as well as occasionally the western pronunciation of Khublai, which is understandable to make it easier for people to follow; not putting a knock against you or anything like that. Overall though, another solid video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your comment! This was definitely a first for me, cause I never studied Mongolian contrarily to Chinese. I'll try to improve for the upcoming vids :)
@@History_of_China No problem, man. It's pretty normal for most people to be unfamiliar with the Mongolian pronunciation unless they've been to Mongolia or know someone who is ethnically Mongolian and speaks the language. It was the same for me before, until I visited Mongolia and learned it from a native Mongolian friend who lives and works there. On a side note: Mongolian is extremely difficult to speak fluently and correctly pronounce a lot of the words unless you're a native speaker of the language.
no. the chinese territory today is due to the Qing dynasty. after the yuan fell, china only controlled the chinese heartlands and bits of manchuria(they did the control of whole thing out to siberia but only for a small amount of time). Ming china lost control of Xinjiang, tibet and mongolia(or rather never conquer it in the first place). Qing china, assimilated Mongolia and reconquered tibet and xinjiang, they also retook taiwan. the republic of china would then lose control of outer mongolia but kept control of xinjiang. tibet would be de facto independent but never actually declare independence. the PRC would then win the civil war and take over all the former RoC areas except taiwan. and of course they also retook de facto control of tibet.
@mxn1948 Oh really. I advise you to read this book by John Man: The Mongol Empire - Genghis Khan, his heirs and the founding of modern China, which is one of the historical sources where he tells that thanks to Mongolian ruler Khubilai khaan, China became as big as today.
The yuans or Mongols were great invaders. However, what they were good at is also what led to their downfall. They failed at managing what they concurred.
The more that is learned about Kublai Khan, many will learn how he was possibly the greatest ruler in history. He moved much of civilization forward. Benevolent at heart, he did what he did until he could do what he truly wanted and that was to create a more peaceful, prosperous, scientific, ordered and free society. Also, he helped the artists, architects, and astronomers in their creations. He created a national school system. So much more....you can look it up.
However, Kublai Khan is a traitor to the Mongols. He took the initiative to unite the Han people to establish the Yuan Empire. The state system, culture, writing, and language all use the Han nationality, and the United Song Empire destroyed the Mongolian Empire inherited by Ali Buge!
idk about "forward". the song was as close as any civilization got to the industrial revolution without actually going through the industrial revolution. his society was not free at all. or did you miss the entire part about the 4 classes of people and how being the wrong race(the han for example) meant you could never hold an important post in his government? national schooling isnt new, hell the first emperor even closed all schools except those he ran and had control over what they taught. Kublai is great in the sense that he picked up the pieces left behind by the brutal mongol conquests, and put them back together, and at least in his lifetime, most lives were getting better compared to the wars before him.
Oh my god it's here boys, strap yourselves in it's go time! Interesting tidbit - I was in Beijing and the old ruined walls of Dadu are still visible to this day, and at the imperial examination school there are standing stones with academic graduates from the Yuan Period - the imperial examination system continued after Kublai's death (they have specific areas separating Academic graduates from the Ming and Yuan period)
Korea was not just vassal state. When Kublai Khan became king, it was a marriage alliance and Goryeo was a son-in-law nation. And even before the Mongol Empire, Korea was already a member of Mongolia from origin. Hankook韓國(Korea) literally means 'Khan State'. In Korea, Han is a dialect changed from Khan. We used to call our kings as Khan. Goryeo opposed the Mongols over who was the Big Brother. However, after the marriage alliance, Korean culture became popular(called Goryeoyang) in the Yuan Dynasty. This is the first Korean wave.
The history of the Korean Peninsula is very simple. The Chinese were the first to establish a country on the Korean Peninsula. The earliest country was called Qizi Korea（萁子朝鲜）, which was established by the Chinese. Later, there was Weishi Korea（卫氏朝鲜）, which was also established by the Chinese. It brought a large number of Chinese men, mated with local indigenous women for hundreds of years, and established the earliest residents of the Korean Peninsula. Later, the Chinese Han Dynasty eliminated these regimes, and established four Han counties in the northern part of the peninsula, Lelang County, Xuandu County, Zhenfan County, Lintun County, etc.,乐浪郡、玄菟郡、真番郡、临屯郡 and dispatched a large number of Chinese officials to rule. Later, the Han Dynasty declined, until later China The Goguryeo established by the ethnic minorities continued to rule the northern part of the peninsula. After the fall of Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty, it directly ruled the northern part of the peninsula and helped the three small countries in the southern part of the peninsula: Mahan, Chenhan, and Benhan 马韩、辰韩、弁韩(that is, the predecessor of South Korea today, and even South Korea's name is derived from these three small countries) to resist the invasion of Japan (Japan), that is, the Battle of Baijiangkou, through this war, the Korean ancestors were prevented from being colonized by the Japanese. Until later, the rulers of the Wang Clan Goryeo and Li Clan Korea on the Korean Peninsula were descendants of the Chinese. These two kingdoms were all vassals of the Central Dynasty of China. Their kings could only be called Kings with the consent of the Central Dynasty. Tributes must be paid, and Chinese characters have been used all the time. This system has been maintained until the Qing-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and Korea was colonized by Japan! This is what Korea calls the Japanese era! ! The history of the East is thousands of years. The Korean peninsula is a vassal of the Central Dynasty of China, and the history of hundreds of years is directly ruled by the Central Dynasty. Therefore, the Koreans are slaves for thousands of years, and the genetic makeup of North Koreans and South Koreans is also It is quite different, the paternal line of North Korea is more Chinese, while the paternal line of South Korea is more Malay, or Jomon, Yayoi, closer to Japan. Koreans (some but not all Koreans) will only tamper with history, but unfortunately Chinese history books clearly record their history, but these shameless peoples (not all Koreans) are like chicken blood. It's ridiculous to indulge yourself in the lies that you make up, these Koreans who make up history are not worthy of respect, they are just extremely inferior because their history really makes them inferior. These shameless South Koreans are jumping up and down the Internet, spreading rumors to slander China, these people are really shameless! ! 朝鲜半岛的历史很简单， 最早在朝鲜半岛建立国家的就是中国人， 最早的国家叫做萁子朝鲜， 是中国人建立的， 后来又有卫氏朝鲜， 也是中国人建立的， 这两个政权都带去了大量的中国男人， 将近一千年的时间和当地土著女性交配， 奠定了最早的朝鲜半岛居民。 后来中国汉朝消灭这些政权，并在半岛北部设立汉四郡，乐浪郡、玄菟郡、真番郡、临屯郡等， 并派驻大量中国官员进行统治， 后来汉朝衰落， 直到后来中国的少数民族建立的高句丽，继续统治半岛北部， 唐朝灭亡高句丽之后，直接统治半岛北部， 并帮助半岛南部的三个小国马韩、辰韩、弁韩（也就是现在韩国的前身， 甚至韩国的名字就是源自这三个小国） 抵抗倭国（日本国）的入侵，也就是白江口之战， 通过这次战争，避免了韩国祖先被日本人的殖民（明朝万历年间中央帝国有一次的帮助朝鲜抵抗日本的进攻，没有中央帝国的支持， 韩国人早已多次沦为日本的奴隶）。直到后来朝鲜半岛的王氏高丽， 李氏朝鲜， 统治者都是中国人的后裔， 这两个王国都是中国中央王朝的附庸， 他们的王，只有经过中央王朝的同意，才能称王， 每年必须朝贡，并且进贡大量韩国女人，并且一直使用中国汉字， 这个体系一直维持到清日战争，清朝战败， 韩国被日本殖民！也就是韩国所称的倭政时代！！ 东方历史几千年， 朝鲜半岛都是中国中央王朝的附庸，并且几百年的历史是由中央王朝直接统治，并且朝鲜人和韩国人的基因组成也大不相同， 朝鲜国更多的父系是中国人， 而韩国的父系更多的是马来人，或者绳纹，弥生人，更加接近日本。 韩国人（一部分不是全部韩国人）只会篡改历史， 可惜中国的史书，把他们的历史记载的清清楚楚，有些韩国人却像打了鸡血一样的沉迷在自己编造的谎言中不能自拔， 实在是可笑之极，这些编造历史的韩国人不值得尊重， 他们只是极端自卑，
@@win79526 if korea founded by Chinese, so why don't Koreans speak Chinese? can you answer this question? If you read the history books of the Jin dynasty and the Qing dynasty, the official history books of your country, it is written that the people of the Jin dynasty are from Silla. Can I quote your country's history book? And in the official Chinese history books, it is written that Jurchen and Mongol were never Chinese, just rulers of mainland China. And for a thousand years, the Han Chinese were second-class citizens. This is a fact written in the history books.
@@UbermanNullist I did not say that South Korea was founded by the Chinese, I only said that the earliest countries on the Korean peninsula were founded by the Chinese, including the Han Empire and the Tang Empire, which directly ruled the northern part of the peninsula! ! Poor Koreans, where they say the rulers of the Jin Dynasty were from Silla? Silla is just a vassal state of the Tang Empire, it has never ruled the northern part of the peninsula, and has no right to speak at all. They have been slaves for generations, poor Koreans, didn't they abolish Chinese characters when Japan colonized the Korean peninsula? Look at how many historic sites and how many old family trees are written in Chinese characters? Also, the script you are writing now is called Hunminjeongyum, which is just a phonetic script invented by your ruling class in order to better rule the slaves. ! Regardless of Wang's Goryeo or Lee's Joseon, that king didn't write Chinese characters? Because of their inferiority, Koreans desperately distort history. This is extremely ridiculous. You forgot how the Ming Empire asked you to pay tribute? You forgot the rise of the Jurchen, how did the Ming Empire let you send troops to attack the Jurchen? You forgot how the Jurchen sent troops twice, how did they attack you? You forgot Namhansanseong, how did your king kneel? ?

The Mongol Yuan invaded "Vietnam" mean they invaded Dai Viet and Champa. Dai Viet was not Vietnam. Vietnam as a name didn't appear until 1804. Champa was not Vietnamese. But historically we can call Dai Viet and Campa "medieval kingdoms of Vietnam". Vietnam is a modern multiethnic country that the Vietnamese Kinh don't present all.
Interesting. Your spelling of Ariqboke in Mongolian reads Aricboke with the sound “ch”. But a quick search of wikipedia spells it like you did. However, the Chinese wikipedia has the Ariqboke spelling. Which one is correct tho?
That's a good point. I've never studied Mongolian, so I had to trust the bitchig scripts I found. If anyone knows Mongolian and the bitchig script, please reach out!
It’s hard to write that name by the pronunciation. I’d say Ariqboke makes the most sense, as it’s supposed to be hard G and not K. If we were to spell it with Aricboke, it’ll be pronounced with K which isn’t correct.
Because of the large size of the Mongol Empire, the Yuan dynasty had the most foreign influence of all dynasties. It was the most foreign regime to rule China
The（色目） Semu people are the collective name of those ethnic groups that Mongolia first surrendered to and conquered. For example, Wang Gubu（汪古部） was originally a border guard slave of the（金） Jin Dynasty. This ethnic group guarded the border wall for the （金）Jin Dynasty. After the rise of Mongolia, they surrendered to Mongolia, and they were called （色目）Semu. There are also Mongolians conquering Central Asia, the Middle East and other places, where they slaughtered cities and looted, and some of the conquered slaves were brought to the East, also known as（色目） Semu! ! For example, （阿合马）Ahema, the prime minister during Kublai Khan's time, was a slave. He was the dowry slave of the （察必皇后）Queen Chabi. Ahema was eventually killed, and Kublai Khan dug up his body and insulted him！！ Han Chinese, Jurchens,Koreans, and Khitans are not within the scope of Semu. The political status of the various ethnic groups in the Yuan Dynasty was the same as the order in which they were conquered.（very little）
It was a nice video. I heard that Marco Polo might not have done most of the things he claimed to have done. Are there Yuan Dynasty records of his existence?
Thank you! I don't think there are, but then again many non Han or Mongol officials were employed in the Yuan administration. Marco Polo's case was not as unusual from the Yuan perspective as it was in the West. Although Marco Polo's experience has been criticised, I think it's still widely considered as credible :)
The Last Emperor (1987) is a cinematographic masterpiece which I 100% recommend. Series about Chinese history are usually more romance or martial arts based (or pretty nationalistic and historically inaccurate). The 2010 Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very enjoyable though (but keep in mind it's based on the novel, not historical reccords) !
Being researcher on Chinese history , I am very curious to know why Mongol Emperors and last Emperor TEMUR KHAN expanded territory till Burma , today’s Myanmar and not entered that time BHARAT IE TODAY’S INDIA . Pls reply
Attacking India from China or Tibet is very difficult due to geography, the Tibetan plateau and himalayas as well as the jungles of Burma, Bengal and Northeast India. Even the well equipped Japanese army in world war 2 couldn't enter India from Burma due to the difficulty of jungle warfare. Mongols from Chagatai Khanate (One of the Mongol states) in Central Asia tried to invade India during the period of the Delhi sultanate (Khilji) but were defeated and sent back. The reason was because of many Mongol refugees of the civil war in India and in the Delhi army who knew much of Mongol strategy. Much later, one of the descendants of Timur (a Turkified Mongol ruler), Babur defeated the Delhi sultanate and established the Mughal empire (Mughal being a Iranic form of the word Mongol)
But when reached up to Bramhdesh today's mynmar the Tibet plataue does not hinder attack as it is up north . For Japanese army to left the battle as it was bombed by America. This is also main reason for Subhash Chandra Bose failure to advance further in to British India. America too were using that time Calcutta Airport for supplying all necessity to American Army fighting in Pacific Ocean Regions. For Chingish Khan army which was advancing in Mongolian desert and high peaks of Kara Koram mountains, crossing Mynmar jungle was less trouble some . There must be other reason for Chingish Khan for not attacking BHARAT
I'm afraid I don't really now why either. As Vamshidhar Reddy mentionned, it could be for a logistical reason, or possibly lack of knowledge about the Indian states, since much more was known of China's immediate neighbours. It should be mentionned that Genghis Khan and his sons tried invading India several times but were unsuccesful, partly due to the climate, which might also have put off the Yuan emperors from invading in turn.
I think Jin dynasty is very underrated even at its lowest at Kaifeng they still managed to create strong state that can still bully Song but alas Mongols were too powerful and nature was too cruel
Song Dynasty sold out the Jin Dynasty. Because Song thought it can use XiXia or Mongol to destroy Jin. And later take it from Genghis. Nah Genghis play for keeps. And Song Dynasty were 🙀 😯. 😂😂😂 Boy do they regret that later. 😂😂😂 The best part is the last or 2nd to last Jin Emperor warn to Song. That if they fell you(Song Dynasty,)are next. 😂😂
Khubilai Khan is the greatest ruler in human history. Not even his grandfather won't rank near if you talk about population, wealth, land, army, power and science. Edward Longshanks (England) ruled at the same time and there is very interesting study of Mongol Empire economy. Tabriz capital city of Ilkhanate (1 of 4 states of Mongol Empire) economy was 8 times bigger than whole English kingdom.
But thank to Khubilai Khan, the mongolian empire collapsed in 4 autonomous regions( Yuan, Golden Horde, Ilkhanate, and Chagatao Khanate). All chiefs and commanders chose Ariq Boke as a new emperor of Mongolian Empire, but Khubilai felt jealous of Ariq Boke, he declared war and ruined his family good relationship. After winning the war, he claimed and became emperor of China, doing it by Chinese traditions. He gave to Genghis Khaan, Ogedei, Tolui, Monke some chinese ranks. And thanks to Khubilai Khaan, now Chinese try to claim mongolian empire as it was their empire.
You forgot the Khubilai's Yasa Law. In which it describes laws for specific ethnicity. And clearly not Chinese Dynasty. 1) In Yasa he made it clear that the Mongols are exempt from taxes and death penalties. 2) Turks paid 50% out of 100% tax and were also exempt from death penalties 3) Others, in which it means Europeans, Africans etc, these people would pay normal 100% tax and if found quilty, they would be penalized by death sentence. 4) The North Chinese people, they didn't resist as much as the Song Dynasty therefore, they paid 200% tax and if found quilty, they would be penalized by death sentence. 5) The South Chinese people resisted the most, therefore, the Khan would see them as enemies, and would demand 400% tax and killed instantly if they used curse words, resist etc. By that clearly, the Mongols separated the Chinese people and also a lot of additional restrictions were in place, which are very racist for the Modern world.
This law legalized a caste system but it doesn't exclude the Yuan dynasty is a Chinese dynasty. The parallel would be like today's America. There are different ethnic people living here are all Americans, but the political structure is dominated by one ethnic people intermixed with a few other ethnic people. The fact that all the records of Yuan dynasty were in Chinese language and the ceremonies and customs that Kublai followed to make him legitimate were Chinese means that he was sinisized by this time, though that doesn't mean that he had given up all his mongol root. It's like every ethnic people in America follow American customs but each also remember their country of origin.
@@Haijwsyz51846 nah, the Chinese later decided it is Chinese. the Yuan never declared itself as Chinese. They would always send a letter as a Khan to foreign civilisations such as Japan, French, etc.
@@aslof1069 What history book are you talking about? Yuan dynasty han officials more than 70%, the yuan dynasty official system, language, writing is derived from the han nationality! Kublai khan warlords united north han nation of the first to destroy is the Mongol empire rather than the song dynasty empire!
@@aslof1069 the word Khan is just the mongol's way of saying King or emperor. You may argue whether the early Jurchen dynasty was Chinese, but the Yuan dynasty definitely was Chinese cus it used the Chinese custom of declaring his rule of China as the mandate of heaven, and changed the the way to count years starting from his reign as Yuan in the whole of China. Every Chinese emperor would start the the year of his rule with new name, which was not the emperor's real name but a name for his reign.
@@知-k3q The official language was the Mongolian traditional script. Then it was translated to the Chinese people bcse they needed good communication and is not an easy work to teach them the Mongolian Language. The Chinese people are the lambs, the Mongols are the leopards. They are few and conquered all of China. They used Chinese to reach its people. But they were not Chinese at all. There were a lot of Chinese staff under strict restrictions. After Yuan Dynasty fell, the Mongols retreated to their Homeland which covers Modern Mongolia and Inner Mongolia and named itself Northern Yuan. There they would resist the Ming Dynasty. During that period the Manchus would take power and conquer all of China and named Qing Dynasty. The Ming weakened bcse of the Northern Yuan or the Mongols. And a lot of Mongol tribes supported Manchu's since they were both nomadic people and descendants of the Hunnic Confederation. In which their main enemy was the Chinese people. Even the Forbidden city restricted Chinese people from entering it. And would have 9999 houses and 10,000 was left for the Tengri. Although the Ming built it 1st, the Qing changed a lot to make it their home and to hide their identity in that city. Moreover, before the Japanese invasion, The Mongols would send to Japanese letters demanding to stop the pirates raiding South Korean region, Khubilai wrote as a Great Khan. Not as Chinese Emperor. In which it makes sense, bcse the Great Khan is more powerful that controls its main army and the Ilkhanate and Chagaatai would also send supports. Khubilai had issue with Batu due to troubled birth oh his and would not accept him as blood brother or part of family member as he would always think he had different father. But Chinggis accepted Batu as his son and that is the main reason why the Yuan fought against the Golden Horde. All other Khanates were serving under his rule and would send Muslim engineers to build most powerful Hui Hui Pao trebuchet etc. You would have to read a lot of Middle Easter and Russian and Japanese literatures to get the idea. As the Mongols never wrote their history. As we know they were too legendary during their peak periods.
I heard that this ruling classes were Mongolians, Central Asians, Indians, Iranians, Uighurs, and Arabs☃☃. It is tragic that ☃☃Chinese were treated as slaves(the rights of first night etc), but as a result, they gave unified giant territory possibility(later another foreign conquest dynasty Qing), so it seems complicate of a colonial conquest dynasty from Mongolia☃☃. 60% genes mixing too
Poor Koreans, do you still have the nerve to make up lies here? You will live forever on this pitiful little peninsula, and that ethnic group in East Asia can dominate you.
Let me tell you, Mongolia invaded and massacred Goryeo many times. Each time, they raped, burned and killed. Koreans may be one of the countries that suffered the most severe abuse from the Mongols. During the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols also called Koreans Han, because the ruling class of the Goryeo Kingdom spoke Chinese and wrote Chinese characters. Of course, low-class Koreans like you were almost like slaves at that time. Mongolia was the last to conquer China, and the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge was killed by the Han. The Mongolian expedition to the west slaughtered cities and wiped out dozens of countries. Those people were really miserable. They also plundered a large number of Muslim slaves to China and became the ancestors of the Chinese Hui people. Your ancestors may just be Koreans from the lower class. After all, you are very ignorant.
The saying about the "four-class system" that can be found so far comes from Tu Ji's "History of Mugul" at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Tu Ji believes that the social ethnic boundaries of the Yuan Dynasty are strictly divided into four levels: Mongolia, Semu, Han, and Southern. In the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, due to the influence of Western nationalism, the fourth class system in the Yuan Dynasty was widely quoted and was written into the history textbooks at that time. By the time modern historians said that the term "four-class system" actually did not exist in the official revision of the Yuan Dynasty, "Yuan Dian Zhang", and no relevant laws were promulgated. And there is no reference to the term "fourth class" The "four-class system" does not exist, and the "four-class system" is a summary of a series of social conditions at that time. This summary cannot be accurate to a one-to-one correspondence, but it can be called accurate. ---- It is said that there are 42 kinds of Mongolians. Tao Zongyi recorded 31 kinds of Semu people(the people of different eye colors) in "Nancun Shuo Genglu". The Han people here refer to the residents under the rule of the Jin Dynasty, including the northern Han people, the Sinicized Khitan, Nvzhi, Gaoli, Bohai and other ethnic groups, as well as the people of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces that were conquered earlier by Mongolia. Koreans also belong to this category; Southerners refer to the survivors of the Southern Song dynasty except Sichuan and Yunnan. Most of them are Han people, not literally Southerners. Continue to emphasize: This fourth-class system is not clearly documented. Only the Yuan court implied restrictions on the use of Mongolia, Semu, Han, and Southerners in the specific political, economic, military, legal, and imperial examination systems. And the standards, in fact, have carried out regional and ethnic discrimination.
"It is said that there are 42 kinds of Mongolians" - you are confusing, in the bureaucratic system (百官) Yuan there was a system of honorary titles of officials (散官) from 42 levels, and not "42 types of Mongols"
At this time, Taiwan was inhabited only by indigenous peoples (aka Taiwanese aborigines). It wasn't a unified nation, rather sets of tribes coexisting throughout the island.
@@steve5123456789 I think there are mentions of expeditions to the "Eastern Islands" in early Imperial China, although historians aren't sure if these were Taiwan/the Pescadores or not. When the Dutch and Spanish came in the early 17th century, they were quick to establish settlements there, though (but rapidly driven back by Ming loyalists chased out of China by the Qing dynasty)
@@History_of_China Loyalists or nationalists being driven out of China to Taiwan seems to be a historic trend. There must be some irony. So the islands technically belonged to the Spanish Empire or Dutch Empire and only really became a talking point in the 17th and 18th century.
