1989 Hulun Protests (Alternity)

The Manchurian Revolution was roughly one-month conflict, lasting from February 14 to March 14, 1992, in which the people of Manchuria rose up against the oppressive Manchurian Communist Party, which had ruled over the nation since Mao Zedong had established it in 1952. The revolution initially began as a series of peaceful protests in the capital of Hulun in the cold dawn hours of February 14, but when Manchurian People's Army (MPA) troops and tanks arrived to crush the demonstrators, forty years of oppression flared into open violence as snipers opened fire on the approaching troops from downtown skyscrapers. This resulted in an estimated forty-six military casualties, while civilian casualties numbered nearly two hundred from retalitory attacks by the soldiers. Over the next several weeks, brazen attacks against government property were conducted without abandon as martial law was declared and MPA troops patrolled the streets with caution. On February 28, an MPAAF MiG-21, while pursuing a group of refugees guarded by freedom fighters, violated Korean airspace over the Liaodong Peninsula and fired on the refugee convoy while within Korean borders. The Korean government, having wanted to stay neutral in the conflict raging to the north, was now galvanized by this attack on home soil and declared open war on the Manchurian Communist government, while tentatively promising to aid the united freedom fighters, now dubbed the Manchurian Republican Army (MRA) and recognize a transition government. Within two weeks, MPA forces were all but decimated by Korea's superior military strength and technology, and reluctantly surrendered the afternoon of March 14. Three days later, the Republic of Manchuria was declared, and by July 30, a new, democratic constitution had been written and government formed after it, heavily based on Korea's system of government.
