Northern Colony of Japan (L'Uniona Homanus)

The Koreo-Japanese War and the Sino-Japanese War
In 653 (100 BC) the Kingdom of Bei and of the Empire of Korea had concluded their war with each other. Prior to this the Japanese had rejoiced in the fall of the First Han Dynasty and were prepared to take control of the several areas who now had to fend for themselves. The First of these were the Koreans who were invaded after the Bei retreated. The Japanese invaded Pyongyang but they were surprised to find themselves driven out by the Korean troops. The Japanese fell back to Kyoto, but the Koreans followed. This was actually a trap and many Koreans were disappointed that the only battle to take place on the main islands of Japan was a failure. The last battle of this war was in Seoul and resulted in the Japanese taking the whole Korean Kingdom and their lands in the north. This was the beginning of the Japanes precence in North Asia.

Following this large and drastic conquest the several Sinican States held the first Sinican Council for their common defense against the Japanese. They were justified in this action because it was undoubtedly the intention of the Japanese leaders and their new Emperor, Fuyutsuki, to invade Sinica. Taiwan had been a Japanese possession for some time and was the place from which the first battle of the Sino-Japanese War was launched. The Japanese invaded the Kingdom of Yan and conquered it rather quickly and the Sinican Council then began serious deliberations.

The Japanese attempted to squeeze both sides of the Sinica so that from Bei to Yan there would be Japanese moving into the center of the country and moving outwards into all of the continent. This Bei-Yan Offensive as it was called would fail the Japanese but in the invasion of Western Bei (the orange state in Northern Sinica) the Japanese had control of the area north of the Great Wall of Bei. This area, known to us as Mongolia, became Japanese and remained so after the Japanese concluded a peace with the Sinicans that also made the Kingdom of Yan independent again. Though the original cause of the Japanese went unachieved, there was not an opportunity for the Japanese to extract minerals and other important resources from their colony.
