1960s in Tseng

This article highlights events in the Tseng Republic from 1960-1969.

The 1960s were the most tumulous and politically unstable decade in Tseng. Bill 643 caused the infamous Luanzheng Era, a period of political violence, massacres, attacks, coup d'etats, and demonstrations in the Tseng Republic between 1962 and 1968. After the end of the Luanzheng in 1968, Stephen Yang developed Tseng's economy and caused the Wanxia Miracle.
