WRITE a blog post comparing the Qing methods of dealing with diversity with those of the Islamic Empires.

Qing Dynasty: The Qing dynasty began in 1644 and lasted until 1912. The rulers of the Qing dynasty were Manchurians. After conquering China The Qing rulers wanted to maintain their ethnic distinctiveness by forbidding intermarriage between them and Chinese. So the Qing promoted diversity with religions and language but they were strict on mixing of ethnicities because they did not want their people marrying any Chinese people. Also in the Qing dynasty the Qing officials did not try to assimilate local people into Chinese culture and showed respect for Mongolian, Tibetan, Muslim cultures. The Qings was similar to the Mughals because Emperor Akbar allowed the Empire to a hybrid of Indian-Persian-Turkic while the Qing was Mongolian-Tibetan-Muslim although the cultures are different both the Mughals and the Qing had many different cultures mixed into their Empire along with their own culture. The Qing differed from the Ottoman Empire because the Ottoman allowed a lot of Immigrants to become a part of their Empire while Qing officials/authorities strictly restricted the entry of Chinese merchants and other immigrants in an effort to preserve he area as a source of recruitment for the Chinese military.
