Mōko Shūrai Ekotoba 2

In 1281, the Mongols were nearly invading Japan for the second time. Unlike the first time they went to Japan which they suffered a heavy resistance from the Japanese, the Mongols now defeated by a Divine Intervention through a massive typhoon that destroyed their fleet, as the Japanese always believed. However, what if the Mongols delays their invasion just for one year? This timeline will explore that possibility.

Main POD

The successful Mongol invasion to Japan in 1282 changed the Japanese society drastically. Japan was subjugated as a tributary state for Yuan Dynasty and the country's myth of racial superiority died before its even bloomed. With the collapse of Bakufu government, the warrior class of samurai almost went into extinction and Japanese society became less militarized than in OTL. Together with the court aristocratic class, a new class of bureaucratic scholars emerged and dominated the politics of Ancient Japan. New social order based on Confucianism was established, resulted to the period of domestic peace and stability. As result, there is no Sengoku period; science, technology, and education were more emphasized during this peacetime era.

A holm divides a river, creating two stream routes...

Myomi Republic is a "big-tent" timeline and contains many sub-timelines on it. Outside the main Point of Divergence, this timeline has many points of divergence, mostly minor and has limited impact or butterfly effect outside the boundary of its time and location. That kind of departure point is called on this timeline as a Holm, Germanic word for an islet in the middle of river, in an analogy that islet that only dividing the stream, but not creating another river from it.

Major Holms

  • 1607 – A group of Bugis settlers from Sulawesi, Indonesia, settling in Madagascar, starting a Bugis colonization in the island. (see Madagascar in Middle Ages)

Minor Holms

One or more minor holms usually being only an ornament in a larger, major holm. Its influences on my timeline ranged from very small to nothing, so it is not even diverging the history.

  • 1613 – Dmitry Troubetskoy is elected as the Tsar of Russia, albeit not hereditary. Russia is an elective monarchy from 1613 to 1661. (see Russian Empire)
