Crowdsourcing the Timeline

I only have a couple of minutes on break to comment:

But with China going full-on flying-mammal-waste pariah rogue state in IST, that movement is probably a lot stronger in IST. It's quite possible that by the 2000s in IST-world, Taiwan is recognised as a sovereign country by the UN, and they've regained their place in the General Assembly - with occasional talk of also returning them the China seat in the Security Council.

I think we have a cause for our war: The U.N. gives China's Security Council seat to Taiwan.  China throws a tantrum and leaves--again.  Then, they sabotage the peace talks in North Korea, framing the U.N.  At the beginning, it looks like it's just a war between China and the U.N. (poor South Korea begins to feel like Belgium) and most countries are "eh, let them duke it out, probably be good for them."
Will work on more, at home.
