Dzungar–Qing Wars

1687 CE – 1757 CE · 70 years

Seven decades of warfare between the Qing Empire and the last great nomadic power in Central Asia. The Qing's final victory in 1757 resulted in the near-complete destruction of the Dzungar people — one of the 18th century's worst atrocities — and brought Xinjiang and Mongolia under Chinese control.
