Manchu-Russian Schism

The Manchu-Russian Schism was a political, diplomatic, economic, and military conflict between the Manchu Commune and the Russian Federation from December 25, 1991 to January 3, 2020 following the collapse of the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics in December, 1991 and the formation of the Russian Federation around the same time period. It was a major hit to the relations between the Russian Federation and the Manchu Commune that only healed in January, 2020 following the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, a military general of the Islamic Republic of Iran, by the United States of America. The schism began with the 1991 Manchu-Russian Crisis caused by the death of several former Red Army soldiers on the border of the Manchu Commune. It was one of the longest military conflicts the Manchu Commune was involved in, only behind the ongoing Manchu Resistance Insurgency. Both sides supported several proxies such as the Communist Party of the Russian Federation by the Manchu Commune and the Resistance by the Russian Federation. The United States of America also played minimal involvment in the conflict by intervening in several parts of the schism.
== Pre-Conflict ==
Prior to December 25, 1991 much of Eurasia was ruled under a Socialist state known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). It was, if not the, one of the largest countries in the world from 1922-1991. Ever since it's inception in 1946, the Manchu Commune had good relations with the USSR and was a close ally to both it and the People's Republic of China all throughout the Cold War against the United States of America (USA). In December, 1991 the USSR began to collapse and all 15 republics and several other parts of the USSR declared independence. The largest part of the USSR, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR), became the Russian Federation at this time and separated from the union.

==== Border Murders and Brewing Controversy (December 25, 1991 - January 1, 1992) ====
Following the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, or USSR, several former Red Army soldiers under the Soviet Remnant attempted to flee the Russian Federation to escape political persecution under the new Capitalist oligarchic government. On December 25, 1991 these soldiers reached the border of the Manchu Commune. Upon all 23 of them refusing to give the Manchu Communard border guards any identifications, all 23 were shot and killed by the border guards. Boris Yeltsin, president of the Russian Federation, sent his regards on December 27, 1991 and said, "These deaths were a well deserved tragedy for traitors to a full nation."
==== Loyalties of the Manchu Commune Revealed (January 1, 1992 - January 3, 1992) ====
A few days later, on January 1, 1992 the President of the Manchu Commune, Zhen Zhenya, decided to give his regards on the border incident. He came out to a platform and said, "This sad series of murders is a sad civil conflict between two armies of the same breed." This angered Boris Yeltsin and many of the currently empowered Russian politicians, whom wanted to see a death to Socialism in their country and saw the Manchu Commune remaining loyal to the USSR a problem for these wants. Due to this, on January 3, 1992, the Russian Federation withdrew their official recognition of the soveriegnty of the Manchu Commune and proclaimed it to be an illegitimate state.
==== Manchu Communard Invasion of Siberia (January 3, 1992 - January 7, 1992) ====
On January 3, 1992, just hours after Boris Yeltsin and the government of the Russian Federation made the decision to withdraw recognition of the Manchu Commune, Zhen Zhenya began making plans to send the Manchu Communard Armed Forces northeast into Siberia and support the remnants of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) to cause trouble for the Russian Federation. These plans begin to go into actions the next day, when a division of the Manchu Communard Army entered Siberia and seized a telecommunications station in the town of Birobidzhan. On January 5, 1992 the Manchu Communard Army moved further north and seized several train stations across the Trans-Siberian Railroad. On January 6, 1992 Boris Yeltsin and his advisors began planning to retake the Trans-Siberian Railroad and Birobidzhan, sending 473 troops to meet the Manchu Communard Armed Forces. The two sides met on January 7, 1992 and fought for two hours, with the Russians falling for a Manchu Communard deception tactic and having their army obliterated.
==== Manchu-Russian Crisis Resolved (January 7, 1992 - January 12, 1992) ====
Following the collapse of the Ground Forces of the Russian Federation a few hours earlier, Boris Yeltsin and the government of the Russian Federation began arguing in Moscow, Russia over what actions to take next. After days of arguing, they come to the conclusion that they will restore their recognition of the Manchu Commune. The Russian Federation renews their recognition of the Manchu Commune's soveriegnty on January 11, 1992. After a few hours of negotiations, the Manchu Communard Armed Forces withdraw from Russian territory on January 12, 1992 and the crisis is resolved.
