The Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty in control of China. It was established in 1636 by Hong Taiji, an ethnic Manchu[1], as a successor to the Later Jin dynasty. While initially isolated to Manchuria (Northeastern China), the fall of the Ming Dynasty in 1644 allowed the Qing to eventually rule over all of China. It stayed in power until the Xinhua Revolution of 1912, a bourgeois revolution which would lead to the creation of the Republic of China.

The dynasty suffered from the imperialism of Japan and Europe and lost Hong Kong to Britain after the First Opium War.[2] In 1895, the Qing dynasty lost control over Taiwan and Korea when they were taken over by Japan.[3]
