Dzungar genocide

The Dzungar genocide (Chinese: 準噶爾滅族code: zh is deprecated ; pinyin: Zhǔngáěr mièzú) was the killing of the Mongol Dzungar people by the Qing dynasty. The Qianlong Emperor started the genocide in 1755. The emperor started the genocide because the Dzungar leader Amursana started a rebellion against Qing rule. The genocide was started by Manchu generals of the Qing army. The genocide was supported by the "Turkic oasis dwellers" (now called the Uyghurs) .

The Battle of Oroi-Jalatu (1756). Chinese general Zhao Hui attacked the Dzungar camp at night, in present Wusu, Xinjiang.
Location	Dzungar Khanate (modern-day Dzungaria, Western Mongolia, Kazakhstan, northern Kyrgyzstan, southern Siberia, Xinjiang)
Date	1755–1758
Attack type	Genocide, mass murder, ethnic cleansing
Deaths	420,000–480,000 (70%–80% of the Dzungar population, from both warfare and disease)
Perpetrator(s)	Qing Manchu Eight Banners, Mongol Banners

The Dzungar Khanate was a group of many Tibetan Buddhist Oirat Mongol tribes. These tribes formed in the early 17th century. They were the last great nomadic empire in Asia. Some scholars say that 80% of the Dzungar population(500,000 to 800,000 people) were killed from war or disease from the Qing conquest in 1755–1757. After the genocide, the Qing government then put Han, Hui, Uyghur, and Sibe people on state farms in Dzungaria.
