11. Manchu Army (Qing Conquest of China, 17th Century)
The Manchu Army’s expertise in winter campaigns was instrumental during the Qing Dynasty’s 17th-century expansion. Originating from the icy terrains of Manchuria, they adeptly maneuvered through harsh winter conditions, ensuring efficient movement and supply lines. This proficiency was evident in the 1636 invasion of Joseon Korea, where their rapid advance and logistical acumen led to a decisive victory, solidifying Qing dominance in the region (en.wikipedia.org).
