To be honest.
After confirming that the worldline indeed changed twice, Xu Yun's mind couldn't settle for a long time.
After all, from both technological and cultural perspectives, this represents a huge variable.
Especially at this particular point in time.
This is 1850...
Everyone who went to primary school knows.
1840.
The British Government used Lin Zexu's destruction of opium in Humen as a pretext to start the historically renowned Opium War.
The Opium War ended with Huaxia's defeat, compensation, and ceding territory. The first unequal treaty compromising national sovereignty in local history, the "White Treaty," was signed between China and the United Kingdom.
The homeland began ceding territory and paying indemnities to foreign countries, arranging customs duties.
Huaxia officially started to become a semi-colonial, semi-feudal society.
Therefore in history.
1840 is also considered the beginning of modern history.
