The House of Sun in China crushes a Hun rebellion, killing the great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather of Attila. THe Huns are wiped out.

Meanwhile, in China, the war gets worse. An ingenious inventor of the House of Liu, Qiao Sui, perfects the first hand-held gun in the year 356 CE. It quickly spreads to all the CHinese factions, and the death toll begins to rise. Not only that, the House of Trung in Vietnam and the House of Sun in Central Asia both cross into India, conquering the northern half.

Because of this, Buddhism spreads all over East Asia, promising peace and harmony. Finally, the battles begin to dwindle, and the war gets less and less intense. Finally, negotiations are underway. The House of Trung's ruler, Trung Hoang, is crowned as the Emperor of the Trung dynasty in 420 CE, and a loose confederation if formed between the Chinese factions, a confederation which stretches from the Aral Sea to the Japanese islands, from the Mongolian steppes to the jungles of India and Cambodia. It is decided (now that the heartland of Buddhism is under Chinese control) that a "Dalai Lama" will be selected to be a mediator between the various factions.

The Egyptian guerilla movement is growing in Persia, and it is assisted by Nubia. Finally, simultaneous attacks take place in Memphis, Thebes, Alexandria, and Nabatea.

The Egyptian empire is refounded under Ahmose IV in the year 137 CE, a great man of charisma, military and domestic capability, and a nationalistic desire to bring Egypt back to the world. Quickly, he overruns half of Carthage, bringing it to near collapse, but Carthage rebounds and makes peace with Egypt.

Egypt is now dominant in the southern Mediteranean, alarming Emperor Hadrian II of the Romans. He considers war.

After the collapse of Persia, meanwhile, the Chinese Confederation looks westerward and annexes many of Persia's eastern areas. Afghanistan, Bactria, and such places are taken. the Chinese Confederation now reigns supreme over all of Asia, and under the Trung Dynasty, is the largest empire known so far in history.

Greenland. They all freeze to death.

The rebellion by the six new angry factions overthrows the Trung Emperor Trung Bing. However, his ingenious minister, ZHuge Liang, as well as the Dalai Lama III, manage an ingenious compromise that would secure stability in the Chinese confederation for ages.

In the year 164 AD, influenced by the ideals of a small Greek state he had read about, Zhuge Liang brings before the now squabbling Chinese confederationalists an interesting new idea - democracy.

It is revolutionary. Many object to it. But Zhuge Liang presses forward - the idea is thus &#8211; there will also be a Senate, which shall consist of members elected directly by the nobles and middle-class. There will be ten Senators per each faction; the Emperor, though hereditary, will reign only as leader of the Senate, but otherwise will not be more powerful than the Senate.

Surprisingly, some begin to find the idea interesting. Finally, a majority of the warring lords agree to try it. Zhuge Liang is appointed emperor Xuandi I, and the first Senate of the CHinese confederation is made to session in the year 169 CE. It is widely popular throughout the empire, and peace slowly returns after decades.

After the insitutional changes, there are ten "states", or factions:

- Vietnam
- Wei (northern CHina)
- Han (southern China)
- Mongolia
- Central Asia
- North India
- Khmer
- Japan
- Korea
- Sun (Talikman Desert area)

the baktrians and parthians, deeply opposed to this, resist and overthrow the local governers. The Aztecs begin to rise in power in mexico. The Great times x grandfather of Ghengis Khan invades China from the North. egypt invades Palestine and captures the Gaza Strip and surroundings. The Roman Emperor Cladius invades The British Isles but fail yet again. The britone woades are gaining technology and power from the failed roman expeditions. The Year is 184 AD Etheopians nuke everyone and everyone dies*

*this is a joke

 

[cybrxkhan]

The Great times x grandfather of Ghengis Khan invades China from the North.

However, the invasion by a renegade defecting general of the CHinese COnfederation is defeated.


Meanwhile, the gun technology developed by the Chinese spreads to Egypt, and is adopted into the Egyptian armies by 193 CE. The Egyptians finally crush the Carthaginians in 199 CE, but the Romans are now extremely alarmed and try to desperately copy the designs of the gun technology, but continue to fail doing so because of Egyptian border regulations.

Meanwhile, in China, all is going well, despite the break-off by the Parthians and Baktrians. These peoples, anyhow, found a small heavily sinicized kingdom called Xinguo, which rules most of Afghanistan. In the Chinese confederation, meanwhile, trading ships reach as far as the Cape of GOod Horn.

The seat of the Roman government moves to Constantinople, but althuogh terribly battered, the empire is nevertheless still united. Finally, in 252, the Romans steal the gun technology... dun dun dun...

the Islamic religion, heavily influenced by the influence of Buddhism, calls upon the Chinese Republic-Confederation for assistance, and likewise the Egyptians. But they are objected by the Romans, who wish for a counter to Egyptian and Jewish power. Likewise, Ethiopia, which has grown to dominate East Africa, is weary of them as well.

China, Egypt, and Judea sign a secret pact in 259, and likewise do the Romans, Ethiopians, and Muslims in 264. Tense is the borders now, and any day could be the first day of... a global war...

Westerm half Disintergrate while the Eastern survives. A civil war ensures in the Western Half as the Egyptians attack Spain gaining notable gains into Toledo. Meanwhile, the Jewish Nation of Josephus expels all Muslims into Roman Territory. By chance, their Prophet Nammumhad meets up with the Eastern Roman Emperor, Convertine who is fleeing the dying Western half. Listening to him, he lets go of his Christian Heritage and adopts Islam. He builds a new city in honour of the Religion. Convertinople becomes the new Capital.

 

[aronnax]

Woah...wait who do we follow....

 

[cybrxkhan]

EDIT: I'll fix my thing to work with yours a bit better.

The Egyptians press forward into Europe, taking Gaul and Italia.

The Chinese confederation meanwhiles now vassalizes the petty states of Persia , while the Jewish stae of Josephus conquers Mesopotamia and Armenia.

But tensions arise - China and Rome have a common caution towards the power of Josephus, and so does Ethiopia; and weary is China towards Egypt, for it was Egypt who stole their gun technology... could this be tensions that lead to worldwise conflict?!?!?!?!

On, route to send a declaration of war to Rome, The Parthian/Baktrian Rebels slaughter The convoy and destroy all roads. The Chinese, believing that the declaration was sent, send 200,000 troops across Baktria, but are 100% slaughter by the rebels. The Chinese, believing this to be an act of the [insert Chinese Budhist pantheon here] and abandon the roads. Contact is lost with East Asia and shows no sign of being repaired, as knowledge about them is lost. The Muslims are crushed by the Jews and are forced to flee to Ethiopia, which is heavily influenced by the religion and Adopts it as their state Religion. they found the holy city of Mogidishu. Rome Invades Carthage and eliminates them and secures East North Africa. The Incans gain power in South america as do several South African tribes in south african (someone please provide names). The Romans, having lost faith in the Roman Pantheon, adopt Christianity as their new religion, supported by the New Roman Emperor, Valentine, who is sympethetic. This causes eased Tensions between Egypt, Judea and the new Roman Empire.the year is 287 CE and the ethiopeans nuke every1
