What led to the genocide The genocide started in 1755 -1758. The Zunghar genocide was the mass extermination of the Mongol Buddhist Dzungar people, referred to as "Zunghars". The Manchu Qing dynasty of China and the Uyghurs of Xinjiang, were ordered by the Qianlong Emperor. They were ordered to kill the Zunghar leader because he was rebelling against the Qing rule.

What happened during the genocide About 80% of the Zunghar population, 500, 000 to 800, 000 people, were killed by a combination of warfare and disease during or after the Qing conquest. The Qianlong Emperor moved the remaining Dzungar people to other places in China. He ordered the generals to kill all the Dzungar men in Barkol or Suzhou, and divided their wives and children among the Qing soldiers. Wei Yuan, said that about 50% of the Zunghar households were killed by smallpox, 20% fled to Russia , and 30% were killed by the army, except those that surrendered. Qianlong Emperor
Current situation -Lots of natural resources, economic development in the region has been accompanied by large-scale immigration of Han Chinese. - The government has a tight grip of the citizens, limited internet access - There’s lots of violence, because of religion, military has had to take action - Falls on silk road - Deadly riot in 2009 that nearly 200 people were killed
War crimes/ Criminal charges There weren’t war crimes or criminal charges, because it happened so long ago. However murder, enslavement, sexual violence, torture are criminal charges. War crimes- Willful killing, or causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health, torture or inhumane treatment. All of those things happened during and after the massacre.
