While humans arrived in the Senrian archipelago more than 30,000 years ago, historiography typically marks the beginning of the history of Senria with the emergence of the Seidou culture in 14,000 BCE. The Seidou culture was succeeded by the Sugawara culture, who migrated to Senria from the Kaoming Peninsula and brought a variety of new technologies and an expansion of agriculture to the archipelago with them; the modern Senrian people are a genetic admixture of the the Sugawara people and the remnants of the Seidou people.

Traditional Senrian historiography claims that the Senrian Empire was established by the Emperor Kousou in 710 BCE; however, modern historians regard these stories as myths, and regard the written record of Senrian history as unreliable until the start of the Sunzuu period in 240. During the Sunzuu period, what would become the Senrian Empire unified central Kousuu and began expanding across Kousuu into Tousuu and Yuusuu, incorporating local clan leaders into the nascent empire over the course of two centuries. Imperial power was further centralized during the subsequent Kaihou Period, culminating in the Seitenhou Reforms of the Empress Genmei; this period also saw the arrival of Zohism and Taoshi in Senria. Strengthened central authority, meritocratic administration, and mercantile contact with the rest of Coius enabled a flourishing of classical Senrian culture.

While Senria's cultural flourishing continued during the subsequent Kingen period, during which Badi arrived in Senria and Gyousuu was brought under Senrian control, central authority steadily degraded, with power passing from the imperial court to monks, then to civilian aristocrats, then to military nobility. The Zakkoku and Tigoku periods were marked by internal turmoil as local potentates vied for power, the nominal annexation of Tousuu by the Tao dynasty for roughly a century following the Toukou War, a string of large-scale peasant revolts (the largest and most famous being the Kyoutoku Rebellion), the spread of apocalyptic Zohist sects, and the arrival of Sotirianity & matchlock firearms alongside Euclean merchants.

The 1667 Kamakura Accord imposed a fragile peace upon Senria, beginning the Suikoku Period. To uphold this peace, a balance of power was maintained between the most powerful daimyou and a rigid caste system based on Neo-Taoshi principles was imposed upon the population. Initial efforts to revert Senrian technological stagnation and prevent Euclean imperial interference in the country paved the way for the Keiou Restoration in 1869, but these modernization efforts stalled after Keiou's death. The Senrian monarchy was overthrown by the 1918-1923 Senrian Revolution, but the country was only given a brief period to recover before the Shangean invasion of Senria in 1927 began the Great War; during the Great War, Shangean occupation forces spearheaded the Senrian Genocide.

Following the Great War, power was centralized in the hands of General Katurou Imahara and his political party, the Aikokutou. During the 20th century, the country enjoyed extremely rapid economic growth and high global stature both politically and culturally; however, its economic growth has slowed during the last two decades.
