Most colours are basically the same as standart ones, as for China; limegreen in Qing China and lighter limegreen are north chinese provinces, ethnics and warlords loyal to them, the Chinese coast is the Republic (basically OTL Kuomintang main territory) and south chinese provinces, ethnics and warlords loyal to them (with some communist or more socialist rebels in between). Xinjiang/ East Turkestan are Uyghurs, Turks, Mongolian, Kazakhs and Tajiks in a rather independent but not unified province, same in Hui (Mohammedan/ Muslim Central Chinese Provinces of the Ma Warlrods), while Tibet and Mongolia are fully independent.

The Carlist capture of nearly all land north of the Tagus river was an absolute success and many records show that the Carlists had no idea what to do next which may have contributed to the lack of any major operations on either side until September of 1933. The Republicans spent most of that time arguing over how much power the Communist Party should have in the governing coalition, which while important was not the most vital thing in comparison to their capital being under threat. The Carlists on the other hand debated on whether or not trade unions should be legal neither side exactly focused on the most pressing issues during this time.

The end of the Tagus ceasefire as some have called the brief peace following the Carlist advance came about with a Republican offensive surprisingly enough. With a joint attack from the Madrid Salient and across the Tagus to push the Carlists back. The Republicans had built up a large reserve and managed to break through the liens along the Madrid Salient and crossed the river at several points. The aim was to encircle as many Carlist troops as possible and they aimed to do that by capturing the town of Salamanca and eliminating the surrounded Carlist troops. The plan failed brutally since the entire linchpin to t Republican victory held. The Carlists managed to hold Salamanca against the Republican onslaught and the Republican plan crumbled. Counteroffensives at Ávila‎ and Béjar broke the Republican lines and they were slowly eliminated as the Carlists rushed Operation Aragon into launching. The routed Republicans that had returned to the pre-offensive lines fought valiantly against the Carlists, but they were broken and the Carlists pushed through. While Madrid itself did not fall to the Carlist advance the Salient named after the city did and Madrid was reduced to a pocket in the Carlist held regions of Spain.
