Ten Great Campaigns

Years: 1755 - 1793

The Ten Great Campaigns are a series of wars fought during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor, much celebrated in the official Qing Dynasty annals.

They include three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Central Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the pacification of Xinjiang (1758–1759).

The other seven campaigns are more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established - two wars to suppress the Jinchuan rebels in Sichuan, another to suppress rebels in Taiwan (1787–1788), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the warlike Gurkhas in Nepal on the border between Tibet and India (1790–1792), the last counting as two.

“History isn't about dates and places and wars. It's about the people who fill the spaces between them.”

― Jodi Picoult, The Storyteller (2013)
