"Both Russia, and China spent a big chunk of their history under foreign occupation"
What's the Russian's big chunk?
"having to server as a tributary, or vassal lord to some Hun/Mongol/Tatar/Manchu khan on your own home soil?"
Didn't Grand Duchy of Muscovy predecessors come to existence thanks to alliance with Golden Horde?
- baybal2 6y agoYes, they had an alliance in a manner of vassalage in exchange for khan's troops. It was basically the khan saying them "I will back you if you submit a bigger chunk of Russian land to me" It was like that with Mongols, and many other foreign invaders before, and after them. Both by Muscovy, and by duchies apposing it.
