Editing 1381 (section)

=== Date not known ===
* Due to [[Joanna I of Naples]]' support for [[Antipope Clement VII]], [[Pope Urban VI]] bestows [[Naples]] upon [[Charles III of Naples|Charles of Durazzo]]. With the help of the [[Hungarians]], Charles advances on Naples and captures Joanna. [[James of Baux]], the ruler of [[History of Taranto|Taranto]] and the [[Latin Empire]], claims the [[Principality of Achaea]] after Joanna's imprisonment.
* After a naval battle, [[Venice]] wins the three-year [[War of Chioggia]] against [[Genoa]]. The Genoans are permanently weakened by the conflict.
* Hajji I succeeds Alah-ad-Din Ali as [[Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo)|Mamluk]] Sultan of [[Egypt]]. The Egyptian government continues to be controlled by rebel leader [[Barquq]].
* [[Timur]] conquers east [[Persia]], ending the rule of the [[Sarbadars|Sarbadar]] dynasty.
* Sonam Drakpa deposes Drakpa Changchub as ruler of [[Tibet]].
* The [[Ming dynasty]] of China annexes the areas of the old [[Kingdom of Dali]], in modern-day [[Yunnan]] and [[Guizhou]] provinces, inhabited by the [[Miao people|Miao]] and [[Yao people|Yao]] peoples. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese (including military colonists) will migrate there from the rest of China.
* In [[Ming dynasty]] China, the ''lijia'' census registration system begun in [[1371]] is now universally imposed, during the reign of the [[Hongwu Emperor]]. The census counts 59,873,305 people living in China in this year. This depicts a drastic drop in population since the [[Song dynasty]], which counted 100 million people at its height in the early 12th century. A modern historian states that the Ming census is inaccurate, as China at around this time has at least 65,000,000 inhabitants, if not 75,000,000.<ref name="brook 28">[[Timothy Brook|Brook, Timothy]] (1998).
