The Qing Dynasty (清), officially the Great Qing, sometimes also known as the Qing Empire, was a big and STRONK Manchu-led Chinese dynasty, and also the last imperial Chinese dynasty. Despite being led by Manchus, the Qing dynasty adapted a Chinese name, switched to Chinese style of ruling, and proclaimed themselves as a rightful Chinese dynasty.

At his greatest extent, the Qing dynasty is ranked the 4th biggest empire ever in history.

History

The Manchus, who lived up north of China, saw the weakening and the instability of the once so powerful Ming Empire. So, they established themselves their own dynasty and invaded. As the invading Manchus, lead by their leader Nurhaci, stormed into the capital, the last Ming emperor committed suicide. The Manchus, calling themselves the "Qing" (meaning "pure"), established a new order and claiming the Mandate of Heaven. All men were forced to get a special Manchu-styled haircut called “queue” (anyone who resisted were faced with harsh punishment).

The Manchus educated themselves and the upper class. They took in Chinese culture and customs while mixing some of their own into it, and very quickly, the learned how speak the Han language and write the Han language. They no longer only understand simple plays, but deep philosophical works from greats such as Confucius as well. These were the new masters of China.

The Qing employed the “ Eight Banners” system, a military and social structure that organized the Manchu, Mongol, and Han bannermen into distinct divisions. This system not only ensured military discipline but also created a sense of unity among the diverse ethnic groups under Qing control. As the Qing expanded their rule, they faced numerous challenges, including regional rebellions and resistance from loyalists of the Ming Dynasty.

For the next 150 or so years, Qing expanded and expanded. He took the Dzungar Khanate in 1758, and committed a genocide there because of rebellion. Around 420000 to 480000, or 70%-80% of the Dzungar population were killed, from both warfare and disease. Along with the Dzungars, Qing also took their protectorate of Ganden Phodrang.
