Xinjiang used to be known as Xiyu Western Region. In 60 BC, in the early years of the Han Dynasty, the Military Viceroy's Office of the western Region was established by the Emperor, to execute sovereignty and power on behalf of the central government. It was not until 1884 that Xinjiang was formally established by the Qing Dynasty as a province. It was peacefully liberated in 1949, and on October 1st, 1955 the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region came into being.
