The '''Qing dynasty''', officially the '''Great Qing''' (大清, ''da ćing'', /ta.t͡ɕʰiŋ/), was an imperial dynasty of [[China]] that lasted from 1636 to 1936. It emerged from the Jurchen Gim state (located in modern [[Corea]]) which unified several Manchu tribes and invaded the Ming dynasty, eventually bringing all of China under their control by the 18th century. The country was partitioned in the [[Canton War]], only maintaining control of the northern plains. Thus, the dynasty is often split into two periods: the Western period before 1857, and the Eastern period after. In 1936, the Qing were invaded and annexed by the modern Chinese Republic from the south, putting an end to the three-century old empire.

The Qing dynasty, officially the Great Qing (大清, da ćing, /ta.t͡ɕʰiŋ/), was an imperial dynasty of China that lasted from 1636 to 1936. It emerged from the Jurchen Gim state (located in modern Corea) which unified several Manchu tribes and invaded the Ming dynasty, eventually bringing all of China under their control by the 18th century. The country was partitioned in the Canton War, only maintaining control of the northern plains. Thus, the dynasty is often split into two periods: the Western period before 1857, and the Eastern period after. In 1936, the Qing were invaded and annexed by the modern Chinese Republic from the south, putting an end to the three-century old empire.
