Yellow Turban Victory

From 184 – 205 AD, The Han dynasty of China faced a a fierce peaseant rebellion motivated by Taosim known as the Yellow Turban Rebellion. In OTL, they sere successfully put down by the armies that would eventually become the Wei, Wu and Shu kingdoms that will eventaully fight eachother for supremacy during the country's Three Kingdom's period.

In this ATL however, the Yellow Turban Rebels managed to overthrow the Han Dynasty and their leader Zhang Jue establishes his own dynasty, the Zhang Dynasty. Under him and his lineage's rule, every religion throught China except for Taoism is strictly forbidded. This policy, while brutal it does manage to keep a strong centralization for of the country in the long term and the Three Kingdoms Period never occurs. Bhuddism never spreads to Korea and Japan, Mongolia and is a much smaller religion in the present day than in OTL.
