Last great Oirat Mongol nomadic empire, controlling Xinjiang and much of Central Asia before annihilation by Qing China in the 1750s.
Annihilated by Qing China under Emperor Qianlong: invaded and conquered in 1755 CE with virtually no resistance, followed by a genocidal campaign 1755–1758 that killed or displaced 70–80% of the Dzungar population, ending the last great Oirat nomadic empire.
