  • 1636—1912: Qing Dynasty
    Founded by the Manchus, an ethnic group from northeastern Asia, this was a period of relative stability and economic growth. Population increased significantly, and China became a major center of global trade. The Qing Dynasty came to an end with the abdication of the last emperor, Puyi, and the establishment of the Republic of China. The fall of the Qing marked the end of over two millennia of imperial rule in China.

This war was about colonial possessions and trade routes.
