Manchuria

Manchuria is the name of the northeastern region of China, historically inhabited by the Manchu people whom were of a slightly different genetic background than the normal Chinese, like the Han. It has always had vast natural resources and played strategic significance, being the place by which the Qing Dynasty was formed.

Manchuria is now known as Northeast China, but historically was always important as a land rich in natural resources north of the Great Wall, with a melting pot of people. Many wars would be won through Manchuria, with it being involved heavily in all the wars and intrigues of modern China.
