Hui Minorities' War

The Hui Minorities' War, also known as the Dungan Revolt, was an uprising by members of the Hui minority from the Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia provinces of China in the late 19th century. It was directed against the Qing Dynasty and inspired by the Taiping Rebellion. The failure of the uprising in 1877 led to lasting immigration of the Dungan people into Imperial Russia. The descendants of the immigrants continue to live in the border region of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan.
