Human history

Prehistory

 * Humans originate in SE Miju
 * Oldest hominid discovered: Ardipithicus ramidus in SE Miju (4.2 MYA)
 * Most complete hominid discovered: Australopithecus afarensis also in SE Miju (3.2 MYA)
 * First anatomically modern humans: Homo sapiens in SE Miju (~200,000 years ago)
 * Earliest known stone-tipped weapons dated 279,000 years ago in northernmost parts of Matobo
 * Earliest evidence of humans existing at high altitudes dated 30,000 years ago in Lu'Wavzo Mountain range, Matobo.

Independent origins of agriculture: 1. somewhere around Mennefer? Seogwan (9,500 BCE)! 2. Central Sinju 3. Yahuimilco 4. Northern Cheongju 5. Gara 6. Northeast Yeongju 7?. Matobo? "con"-crops perhaps necessary 8?. Wokajoor?

Early civilizations: Mennefer Ancient Seogwan (2,800 BCE - 537 CE) pre-Cheonje civs Somewhere in Tagol Somewhere in Yahuimilco Somewhere in Northern Cheongju Matobo? Wokajoor? where else?

Sinju
1000 BCE - 500 CE: Mass migrations by Jeongmic peoples from West Yoju into Yedal and North Sinju, Fusenic peoples in Jeongmi displaced and forced to move eastward into Fusen and Bangju, further displacing Aynu peoples

Early modern period
Countries in Sinju expanded overseas, while Nukigurun engaged in a large-scale continental expansion into Yoju. The potato was introduced from Cheongju to the rest of the world, and cassava is introduced to Miju. Countries in Sinju grow wealthy off of resource extraction from colonies and selling goods to the people in their colonies.

Seogwan
Tosanese explorers discover Seogwan in 159X (TBD), (then later in 1628) settle in Maikh (city) and Masirah (Seogwanese islet near the bay's epicenter). Nukigurun's expansion to central Yoju c. 1640? (according to nation page). Šijen Emperor sees value in Seogwan's resources and access to the Red Yi Sea, wants to establish a fixed route, but is too preoccupied with other wars (Komosire?) to go the aggressive way. Instead he convinces the Seogwanese caliph to appoint one of Šijen's sons as the next caliph. This reinforces Nuki control of Seogwan, makes it the first colonizer. Also that means the caliphate's dynasty is henceforth Muslim Manchu until its collapse, which is epic on its own. Tosan returns to claim coastal Seogwan by force in 1675, has this epic gunpowder versus gunpowder war with Nuki that ends in a draw. Tosan exerts its influence on coastal Seogwan, Nuki on the mainland. Both powers are cooperating with common interests (profitable trade and combined political power). This makes Tosan the second colonizer. The Caliphate employs ideas from Sinjuan developments in philosophy and governance (public office exams!!), grows in wealth, makes significant and successful conquests in Aryadesh. (This is mostly for Seogwan to be good at life for once and for whomever wants Islam in central-east Yoju.) The Caliphate suffers from an economic crisis (TBD), loses grip on Aryadesh and other conquests (AKA shrinks to its normal size), is invaded by Basanreseri in 1796, who just obliterates everything. This makes Basanreseri the third colonizer and the most ruthless, bringing Seogwan to absolute poverty.

Industrial revolution
Industrialization begins in Jeongmi during the mid-18th century and spreads to the rest of Sinju.

Seogwan
Seogwan will be forced to join the Contingents in Eulhae under the Basanreserian banner, with Mennefer (if controlled by an Allied power) likely as its enemy. The effect of Eulhae on Seogwan can decided later. It is only important that it suffers from many losses and damages, and receives post-war development aid from capitalist countries afraid of the socialist Menneferian rule (enter Namju with bases, or Jeongmi with espionage agencies). The Seogwanese Civil War (2007) will resemble the, in that a lot of global powers will support sides in unorthodox ways (previous Eulhae enemies being allies, socialists uniting with capitalists on both ends, for different purposes; all TBD!!!)
