Mongolian Civil 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.
