1. 1. China Marches West

   The Qing Conquest of Central Eurasia

   

   Examines the Qing empire’s seventeenth- and eighteenth-century expansion into Inner Asia, culminating in the destruction of the Zunghar Khanate and the incorporation of Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Tibet through a blend of military force, diplomacy, and administrative innovation. By analyzing ecological constraints, trade and logistics, and comparisons with Russian expansion, it shows how these campaigns reshaped Central Eurasia, fixed enduring borders, and laid foundations for a modern multiethnic state.
