Originally posted by middle earth View PostManchukuo was partly some Chinese problem, mainly a Japanese making. When the last emperor abdicated, he reached a concession with the incoming government that the royal family continued to live in the royal palace with an annual grant. Later China entered the warlord period, and one general drove the royal family out and rescinded the grant. It is not the worst part, yet another general looted the royal tomb to fund his troops, still worse, the troops left the royal remains around, the ousted emperor was so furious he vowed to take revenge, when the Japanese offered the chance, he rushed to embrace it. It is not history, it’s what's behind history.

A lot of ethnic Manchurians were partially assimilated and chose to drop their identity due to fears of Han retaliation after the end of the Qing dynasty.
I think the difference between the British Empire and the Qing Empire is that the Qing Empire adopted the styling of a Chinese dynasty, claiming China not as a colony but as the core territory. It would have been as if the British decided to stop being British and claim that they were Indians instead and move the capital from London to Delhi.

Also as I understand there are two universities in Taiwan that are giving courses on the Manchu language since the first half of the 2000s.夫唯不爭,故天下莫能與之爭。
