Far Eastern Republic's history goes back to Russian expansion into Far east during 16th and 17th century when settlements around the fertile Amur basin begun to increase in population. Those settlements soon emerged as self-aware political power inside the Russian Empire and finally declared independence during the Pugachev-rebellion 1772. Far Eastern Empire was officially proclaimed in 1775. The new empire continued to expand into the sparsely populated areas around Chinese empire and by the late 19th century controlled wast areas of land with ever increasing population base due immigration from Russia and other parts of Europe. Following the rapid expansion, tension grew with China and another uprising Asian power Japan. These rivalries culminated in the Far Eastern - Japanese war in 1904-1905. After the losing the war against Japan, Far Eastern Empire begun to run into dept when trying to rebuild and compete Japan in military and influence over China and Korea. This drove the empire into economical turmoil which eventually exploded into socialistic revolution in 1920. Imperial regime fell and new Far Eastern Republic was formed. Tension with Japan remained and started escalating in the 30's when Japanese successfully reinstalled Chinese emperor Puyi as puppet ruler in China in 1937. During the Second world war, Japanese with their Chinese allies attacked Far Eastern Republic. After 4 years of war, Far Eastern Republic alongside with other allied countries emerged victorious. During the Cold War, Far Eastern Republic effectively controlled new socialist Asian puppet states in China and Japan and supported revolutionary movements across Asia and other parts of the world. Relations between the another socialist power Soviet Union begun to deteriorate in the late 50's ad eventually led split between the two powers.

Russian expansion into far east

Russian explorers and colonist begun to explore the vast regions of the Northern Asia in the 16th and 17th century and by 1639 had reached into the Pacific Ocean. The new, yet remote Russian colonies started to lure more and more population especially into the Amur basin which had fertile land ideal for settlements. Towards the mid 18th century, the colonies had grown into the self-sustaining and the remoteness of the St. Petersburg begun to stress the governing of the Far Eastern Region. The local settlers often felt that the Far Eastern matters were considered less important in the capital compared to the more pressing situation in Europe. The idea of independence begun to gain more and more support among the Far Eastern population.
