Han nationalism (⼒人丶ゝ二 ⼟ 韩木ゝ二, tr. garinan no hanmin) refers to nationalism among the Han people and its diaspora. Han nationalism began its roots in the late 19th century, following Sierran and allied intrusion into Han territory. Han nationalism manifested itself into the Bagohan ("renewal") reforms period during the last decade of the Li dynasty. During the Sierran colonial era, Han nationalism was greatly surpressed to turn Hans into subservient subjects of Sierra. However, this surpression ironically increased Han uneasiness, which culminated in the collapse of Han royal rule in the late thirties, and the subsequent Hanyang Declaration; which oversaw the rapid takeover of the islands by two main guerilla groups.
