Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (1)

Xinjiang, known as the Western Regions in ancient times. The Qing unified its territory, called Hui Xinjiang, and set up the general Ili. In 1884, taking the meaning of "new return to the homeland", Xinjiang Province was officially established.

In 60 BC, the western Han dynasty central government established the "Western Regions Capital Protectorate" in Wuleicheng (in present-day Luntai County), and Xinjiang officially became Chinese territory. In 552 AD the Turks unified the Western Regions. In 640, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to capture Gaochang City, changed the area to Xizhou, and established the Anxi Capital Protectorate here, which was later moved to Guizi, with jurisdiction over the "Four Towns of Anxi" such as Guizi, and the jurisdiction over the vast area south of the Tianshan Mountains. In 702, the Tang Dynasty established the Beiting Capital Protectorate in Beiting (present-day Jimsar), which governed the area north of the Tianshan Mountains.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Tubo regime stepped up its attack on the Western Regions, once occupying most of Xinjiang, and in 866 Tubo withdrew from the Western Regions due to the westward migration of the Uighur Khaganate. In 840, the Uighurs migrated west from the Mongolian plateau and established the Xizhou Uighur Dynasty, centered on Turpan, and the Qarakhanid Dynasty, centered on Kashgar, which together with the then Khotanese Kingdom formed three parallel regimes in the Western Regions. In 1132, the Khitan conquered these three regimes, unified the Western Regions and established the Western Xia Dynasty. In 1218, during Genghis Khan's western expedition, he defeated the Western Xia and unified the Western Regions. In 1271 Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty, and the Western Regions were administered by the Yuan government.

In the second half of the 14th century, when the Ming Dynasty was established, the Western Regions coexisted with the Eastern Chagatai State, the Turpan Kingdom, the Yarkand Khanate, the Hami Kingdom, the Washi Khanate and other regimes, all of which were descendants of The Mongol nobles, of which the Eastern Chagatai State was the most powerful, and in 1543 the Yarkand Khanate replaced the Eastern Chagatai State as the de facto ruler of the Western Regions. In order to control the administration of the Western Regions, the Ming Government specially set up guards in Hami, which served as the highest administrative and military institution for the Ming Government to administer the Western Regions.

In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the Western Regions were ruled by the Mongol Dzungars, whose leader was Kaldan, who used force to annex the Mongols and the Eruts, and pushed the Turks to the Volga Valley in Russia. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Dzungar nobles took the opportunity to rebel, and the Qianlong Emperor sent a large army to suppress the rebellion in 1755, and finally completely eliminated the Dzungar Khanate and unified the Western Regions. After the pacification of Dzungar, the leading figures of the Muslim sect, Imin and Ishaq, historically known as "Great and Small", and in 1757, they established the "Batur Khanate" in Kucha to openly confront the Qing government. In 1759, the Qing government sent troops to directly attack The yarkand and Kashgar strongholds of Dahezhuo, quell the rebellion, and unify Xinjiang. In 1771, the Mongolian Turk tribe, which had been excluded in the Volga River Valley, returned to the embrace of the motherland after 8 months of suffering after 150 years.

After the Opium War, because the Qing government had no time to look west, the Tsarist Russia took the opportunity to encroach on China's Xinjiang region, and they illegally occupied more than 440,000 square kilometers of china's western territory through armed migration, the establishment of military strongholds and scientific investigations, and the signing of unequal treaties. At this time, the Central Asian Khanate headed by Agubai, with the support of British and Russian imperialism, invaded Xinjiang in 1865, and they first entered Kashgar, and quickly occupied seven cities, including Yarkand, Hotan, Aksu, and Kucha, and established the "Zhedeshar regime". At the same time, Tsarist Russia also took the opportunity to invade the Ili region. In order to maintain the unity of the country, Zuo Zongtang led an army of 80,000 men into Xinjiang in 1875 and recovered all of Xinjiang's territory except the Ili region in 1878. After the signing of the Sino-Russian Ili Revised Treaty, the Qing government recovered most of the territory of the Ili region, but more than 10,000 square kilometers of land west of Khorgos still belonged to Russia, leaving behind a so-called "Pamir problem".

In order to ensure the long-term peace and stability of Xinjiang, under the initiative of Zuo Zongtang, Xinjiang was established as a province in 1884, and the provincial capital was moved from Ili to Dihua City in Urumqi, and the whole of Xinjiang was divided into 4 provinces, 6 provinces, 10 departments, 3 prefectures, 21 counties and 2 counties.
