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 Xinhai 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 in 1839.[2] In 1895, the Qing dynasty lost control over Taiwan and Korea when they were taken over by Japan.[3] The Boxer Rebellion at the turn of the century attempted to reestablish China's sovereignty but was crushed by a Western military alliance including the United States.[4]
