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.

"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past...Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered."

― George Orwell, 1984 (1948)
