the traditional pigtail and clothing. In 1646, the Manchu
invaded Chekiang, Fukien, and Szechwan, and, within one
year, they took Canton. In 1966, the leaders of the Manchu
ordered evacuation of all the costal regions to keep them
from being exposed to outside cultures. Then, in 1668, Manchuria
was closed to all Chinese. No outside trade or customs were
allowed. In 1670, Manchu people took Turkestan. Wu San-kuei
was the first real rebellion against the Manchu, in 1673.

Manchu continued conquering Outer Mongolia and Tibet.
The Manchu were also responsible for the massacre and extermination
of the Dzungars, another cultural group of people. During
the late1700's, the Manchu took their armies to Nepal to
fight the Gurkhas and defeated them. By mid 1800, the Manchu
territory slowly started to disappear by the advancements
of Russians, British and French troops. In the early 1900's,
the Manchu people where down to only about eighty percent
of the previous conquering population. The Manchu empire
that expanded over much of present day China and Mongolia
was reduced to one-tenth the size.
