Qing is the last imperial dynasty to reign over China, from 1644 to 1921. Of Manchu origin, it succeeded the last ethnically Chinese dynasty, the Ming Dynasty. In the second half of the 19th century, the Qing Empire experienced a long decline, weakened by internal conflicts as well as by international pressure, and the imperial regime was finally overthrown by the Chinese revolution of 1911, giving way to the Republic of China. . The reign of the Qing Dynasty ended on February 12, 1912, with the abdication of China’s last emperor, Puyi, then six years old.
