| Abstract: | The modern history of Xinjiang dates from the Mohammedan rebellion of the 60s and 70s of the last century. This rebellion, affecting several provinces of China proper as well as Chinese Turkestan, severely shook the decaying Manchu Dynasty. Millions of Chinese were massacred, and when the reconquering armies advanced they massacred in revenge until wide territories were laid waste that to the present day have not recovered their population. |
