Editing Eastern War

On September 2nd 2079, a rebellion led by the Han people occurred in Mongolia. The Han insurrectionists insisted that they were Chinese, not Mongolian, and that they needed to reunite with the [[Republic of China]]. The [[Republic of China]], who had friendly relations with Mongolia, refused to let the insurrectionists join him, instead entering the war to help Mongolia put them down, much to the insurrectionists' shock and dismay. When this happened, the Manchurian Empire, a proxy of [[Hindustan]], used it as a casus beli to declare war on China and pull in his eastern Siberian allies. The [[Republic of Russia]] entered the war on China's side as a result, seeking to retake his old eastern lands, as did his close ally Kazakhstan.

Over the duration of the end of 2079 and most of 2080 the Han Insurrectionists  had consolidated their territories, united with Manchuria and captured all of Inner Mongolia along with beginning a push into China propper, capturing Bejing in May before grinding to a stalemate as the Chinese mobilized. In the meantime the [[Republic of Russia]] together with Kazakhstan, had quickly capitulated the Altai Republic and started the siege of Kyzyl. He also launched an invasion of Buryatia who capitulated after the capture of their capital Chita. During these two campaigns, the [[Republic of Russia]] would get invaded by the [[RSFSR]], starting the [[3rd Union War|Third Union War]].

By early 2081 it had become apparent that [[Hindustan]] had been shipping aid to Manchuria through Japan as a third party, who had gotten easily bribed to cooperation. Following this discovery the [[Republic of China]] and [[Hindustan]] would be officially at war, however due to the Himalayas inbetween them not much would actually come from this. On the contrary, Hindustan would find himself more distracted with Thailand, Afghanistan and Iran in the upcomming years, thus leading to a big decrease in aid flowing into Manchuria's war effort.
