Content: The Chinese tried to call a conference with the leaders of Japan to carve up the New World into separate spheres of influence, but the Japanese felt that they were in a good position and declined the offer. Japan, after all, had a large head start in the New World. Because of Japan's unwillingness to cooperate, China declared war in 1411. Sino-Japanese Colonial War
China based some troops on the northern shore of the island of Taiwan (a mostly tribal island at this point) and Jeju Island (of Korea, by treaty), as well as sending ships to the New World via Hawaii. The stated reason for the invasion was the disrespect of China, including the unwillingness to curb piracy in Chinese waters and (the main reason) an unwillingness to settle border disputes in Yodderick. This war also came soon after the Chinese and Japanese realized that South Yodderick (South America) was another huge continent that could be exploited. This war, especially overseas, was a good test for the new Chinese-designed warships. Chinese cannons were prominently used at sea on these ships. The first attack was on Kyushu Island, on a major trading port. The Chinese were not bent on taking Japanese land, but rather on proving the point that China should not be crossed.
