==History== | ==History== | ||
China | China emerged as one [[Earth]]'s earliest civilizations in the fertile basin of the Yellow River in the North China Plain. For millennia, its political system was based on hereditary monarchies known as dynasties. Since 221 BCE, when the Qin Dynasty first conquered several states to form a Chinese empire, the nation has expanded, fractured and reformed numerous times. The Republic of China (ROC) replaced the last dynasty in 1912, and ruled the Chinese mainland until 1949, when it was defeated by the Communist Party of China in the Chinese Civil War. The [[Communism|Communist]] Party established the People's Republic of China in [[Beijing]] on October 1, 1949, while the ROC government relocated to Taiwan. When humanity first began to colonize other worlds, China was one of the most enthusiastic and effective colonizing forces. Many of the vital resource colonies that would eventually supply the [[UNSC]] war effort were initiated by Chinese efforts.<ref name="ENC"/> | ||
