The Qing Dynasty also known as Manchu dynasty was the last dynasty in the Chinese history. It began during the fall of the 276 year old Ming dynasty in 1644 and ended in 1912 though it was attempted to be restored to no avail in 1917. The end of Qing dynasty was known as the beginning of the Republic of China.
Before the Qing Empire, the Ming Empire lasted about 270 years and then collapsed mainly from within as rival groups carved up sections of the empire for themselves and fought for supremacy. Natural disasters, famine and economic chaos convinced many people that the Ming had lost the Mandate of Heaven.
