The Qing was the worst dynasty. All of China's modern day stereotypes developed because of the Qing

Nah, it was mid. Except the Qing who are out of place.
>Barbarians
Eerm, akshually these would be called Orientals and also you forgot Korea and Japan. And what the hell add the Lê Dynasty too.

Ngl they're basically evenly matched in that. Arguably the gundpowder empires (plus Qing China) were better than those.

Ottomans were the Sultanate of Rûm, actually. There's no golden horde unless you want to piss Russians off or start batting for the Khanate of Crimea.
Bizarrely enough the Qing did ape the Yuan dynasty a lot.

I don't believe a single one of these was ever ruled by Eunuchs. Not even the Qing Empire.

I'm not talking about janissaries.
Ottomans had white eunuchs who they castrated.

Qajars also had white eunuchs

There were also Black slave soldiers in the Fatimid caliphate and Alaouite Morocco (Abeed al-Bukhari) who were not castrated but were married with children.
They were separate from the Black eunuchs.
Fatimids had both a white eunuch corps with white eunuchs like Jawdhar and Baha al-Din Qaraqush and a Black eunuchs corps.
They also had a totally separate corps of Black slave soldiers.

How Turkey treated white people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Rowlie
>Samson Rowlie (died after 1577), was Chief Eunuch and Treasurer of Algiers during Ottoman rule. Born in Norfolk, England, the son of Francis Rowlie, he was captured and castrated by the Ottomans in 1577.[1] He converted from Christianity to Islam and took the name Hassan Aga.[2] He served the Beglerbeg of Algiers, Uluç Ali Pasha.

>Hadım Suleiman Pasha (Ottoman Turkish: خادم سلیمان پاشا; Turkish: Hadım Süleyman Paşa; c. 1467 – September 1547) was an Ottoman statesman and military commander. He was the (viceroy) of Ottoman Egypt in 1525–1535 and 1537–1538, and Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire between 1541 and 1544.[1] He was a Hungarian eunuch,[2] his epithet hadım meaning "eunuch" in Turkish.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadim_Ibrahim_Pasha
>Born in the Sanjak of Bosnia, he became Chief White Eunuch of the Topkapı Palace Harem under Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent.[1] He was appointed Governor of Anatolia, and in 1544 was nominated fourth Vizier. In 1548-9, during the Second campaign of the Ottoman-Safavid War, he got the position of lieutenant Governor of Istanbul, reaching the rank of third Vizier.[2]

In 1574 he was sent to Cairo as governor-general of Egypt. On his return to the capital in 1581 he became the third vizier. He was promoted to second vizier in July 1584

Ottoman Turks also castrated British soldiers.

Black slaves destined for field labour in the Middle East were not castrated either. They could still rape during the Zanj rebellion.

The Qing was just unfortunate in its timing, it was set to absolutely rape any non-industrial state and that's what it was doing. Then even against the rise of the industrial west, it actually faced this challenge better than every other state except Japan. It's just that facing this the second best was still utter humiliation.

While it was certainly very good at steamrolling Mongolian Khanates I wouldn't say it was raping it's neighbours. Even before the IR its borders had stabilized.
P.S: Japan got lucky, nothing they did was substantilly different from the modernization programs undertaken by the kingdom of Madagascar or Morrocco.
