The largest continent on earth.

Asia is the largest continent on earth. Asia covers 30% of the world's total area and is home to the majority of the human population (and as of 2019 accounts for roughly 65% of it). It is the continent with the highest GDP combined in purchasing power parity and nominal estimates. Asia was home to several Cold War atrocities of Western-backed coalitions and military forces notably after World War 2, including in Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Indonesia, Israel, and many others, most notably after the Bandung Conference.

Third Side of the Cold War DOCUMENTARY - The Cold War - About the Bandung Conference and how Asia first attempt at independence was not very well received by the Soviet Union and the US.

China and India have been the largest economies in the world for roughly two centuries up until the 1800s, which ended when discovery by European and American imperialists first "out-commerced" China and later just plundered Africa.

Like Africa, two-thirds of Asia was conquered by European countries by the 1900s, with only Afghanistan, China & Japan to be the main powers not under the influence of a foreign entity. China somewhat allowed most of that to happen, as Japan had been coerced by US and national capitalistic entities to start trading with the world and end its policies to isolate itself, causing multiple power grabs by Japan and a Japanese rule of South East Asia.

Asia didn't escape bloody combat at the end of imperialism and World War 2, with Japan entering China in a bloody war, the British having removed Turkey from ruling the middle east and helped to found Israel and the French and Dutch forcing to leave their opium-producing colonies alone. Asia became home to some increasingly hostile Cold War conflicts surrounding the Bandung Conference, which massively hurt the first generations living under freedom in those countries.

Modern History

Asia is home to two countries of the UN/Security Council. These two - Russia and China - act as a sort of opposing power to the western countries, who make up a majority, causing a stalemate for actual political leverage in the council. The US, Japan, and South Korea signed a trilateral pact in August of 2023, seemingly preparing for a war against China citing "North Korean and Russian cooperation with war preparation in mind".

US-Chine Trade War

Western commercially-controlled media noticed China and North Korea had the unique advantage of "assassinating or eliminating" all US spooks working there, seemingly paving the way for a new Cold War 2.0.

Religion

Asia is a very mixed continent in terms of the populace, terrain, and religion and was the birthplace of most of the world's common-known ones, including Hinduism, Judaism, Buddism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam, Sikshim, and Christianity.

Drugs

The Golden Triangle is the 2^nd most important heroin-producing area of the world. It is located between Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. The Golden Cresent - very coincidentally - right after the 1980s Afghan war has become the biggest opium-producing area in Asia since 1991. Afghanistan - again, quite the coincidence - became the largest country after the ban by the Taliban on producing heroin was lifted after a US/NATO-led invasion costing $1,000,000,000,000 in which a country occupied by the NATO troups became responsible for 90% of the worlds heroin production.

Oil

The Suez Canal has been fought for by dozens of countries, mostly Iran, Saudi Arabia and Israel, as Big Oil relies on the vital waterway for distribution. 12% of all global trade and 8% of all liquefied natural gas pass through the canal. A temporary blockage in 2021 - even during the Covid-19-pandemic - caused $9 Billion in damages.
