What will happen to the country that has seceded from our country after independence?Can you return to your homeland?
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, China has been the leading country in Asia, and after thousands of years, it has continued to expand outward, and at one time controlled a territory of tens of millions of square kilometers. However, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, the great powers invaded one after another, constantly encroaching on our territory, and in just a hundred years, five countries became independent from the control of the Central Plains Dynasty and established their own countries.
The first example is Vietnam. During the Qin Dynasty's southern expedition, it occupied a large amount of land in the northeastern part of the Indochina Peninsula and set up local administrative institutions to administer it, so Vietnam became part of China and was directly subordinate to ***
For more than a thousand years, no matter how Chinese dynasties changed, Vietnam remained a part of China. It was not until around the time of the establishment of the Song Dynasty that Vietnam began to establish its state, but it was still nominally a vassal to China, and it was required to pay tribute to China every year, and sent envoys to pay homage, and the Chinese emperor would also give generous gifts to appease him.
However, in the 19th century, with the advent of the Age of Discovery, the French came to Asia with strong ships and cannons, and began to covet colonies. They soon set their sights on Vietnam and launched a war of aggression against it in 1858.
Only 30 years later, France gained absolute control over Vietnam and the entire Indochina Peninsula. In order to compete for the vassal rights of Vietnam, the Qing Dynasty in the north mobilized heavy troops to fight the French in the area of Zhennan Pass, and the war was extremely tragic.
Although the Qing army used its flesh and blood to meet the enemy's muskets and cannons with their inferior equipment, although they won, they were unable to extend the victory and drive the French away.
Eventually, the Qing Dynasty, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, compromised with the invaders and abandoned the expansion of its influence in Indochina.
After the war, Vietnam defeated the aggressors and achieved independence with the assistance of New China, but later under the influence of the Soviet Union, it moved towards the path of hegemonism, carried out military aggression against neighboring countries, and even clashed with neighboring countries.
This led to the defeat of the war and the missed opportunity for development, and the economy fell sharply. Although Vietnam later implemented economic reforms, the effect was not obvious, and the overall economic situation remained sluggish.
However, the dramatic changes in the international situation have made the possibility of Vietnam's return slim. Another example is Outer Mongolia, which was subordinate to the ** dynasty during the Qing Dynasty, but later began to gradually separate from China due to the intrigues of Tsarist Russia and remained relatively independent for the next few decades.
During this period, Beiyang** briefly controlled Outer Mongolia, but soon after, this connection was severed again due to warlords in the interior.
During the period of the Nanjing Nationalists, although Chiang Kai-shek did not solve the Outer Mongolia issue, he always emphasized in the international community that he did not recognize the "autonomy" of Outer Mongolia and insisted that it belonged to Chinese territory.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to improve relations with the Soviet Union, the issue of Outer Mongolia was temporarily shelved and treated as an independent state. At present, Outer Mongolia is in poor development, the gap between the rich and the poor is wide, and the economic structure is single and fragile, and in the event of a global financial turmoil, it is likely to lead to the collapse of the whole country.
As for the return of Outer Mongolia, similar to Vietnam, it is unlikely unless there are major changes. As for Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tuva, they were originally small countries in China and Central Asia, but later broke away from China because of Tsarist Russia, and successively established independent states with the support of Tsarist Russia.
Of these, the first two became part of the USSR, while the latter were directly incorporated into Russia.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan became independent from the original socialist system and began the exploration of capitalism. The geographical and environmental conditions of these two countries are not conducive to economic development through reform and opening up like China, so they can only rely on the export of agricultural and animal husbandry products and energy for profit.
Recently, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan have received a large profit due to a surge in gas orders due to the ban on imports of Russian energy from Europe. However, Tuva is still part of the Russian Federation and must obey Moscow's executive orders.
The region is very rich in metal deposits, especially coal and gold, so the mining industry has become an important pillar of its economy. In addition, Tuva is also very rich in meat and dairy products, which can be exported to Russia and abroad at a good profit.
Tuva does not have a strong sense of identity with China, and the likelihood of a return is extremely low.
Although Chinese civilization once affected Korea, Ryukyu and other places, due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, it was unable to resist the invasion of foreign powers, resulting in the loss of China's homeland and serious damage to its sovereignty.
However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, China rose again, and although it was poor, it had high ambitions, was not afraid of any invading enemy, dared to fight against foreign forces, and made every effort to safeguard its national interests.
