The Qing dynasty was founded by the Manchus. When the Ming dynasty was overthrown, the Qing conquered China over a period from 1618 to 1683.

Over time, by the end of the Qianlong Emperor's rule, Qing China came to rule over one-third of the world's population at the time, had the world's largest economy, and was one of the largest empires by area in history.

There were many threats from Western powers, and there were some minor internal rebellions such as the Taiping Rebellion. There was the growing concern of Japan: the First Sino-Japanese War broke out between Japan and China over control of Korea. Thankfully, the Qing dynasty managed to survive these threats for the most part.

Second Sino-Japanese War
The Second Sino-Japanese War broke out between China and Japan, part of the larger Pacific War. Japan won major battles in the war early on, and established puppet states in occupied lands such as. However, with the help of Western powers such as Prussia and the USSR, China was able to come back and win, with the surrender of Japan.

Post-Pacific War
The Soviet Union incorporated Manchuria into their nation with a communist regime, the Qing royal family sent its wishes for the USSR to return their homeland to China. However, the Soviets continued to hold onto Manchuria; with the monarchy abolished in the communist regime, there was no chance the Manchu emperors could rule there.

Since the end of the Pacific War, China has become a member of the United Nations and has a well-developed economy. China has still attempted many time to retake Manchuria, most notably after the dissolution of the USSR, when a Manchu referendum to rejoin China or stay independent was held. The Qing royal family showed its greatest support for the movement, but Manchuria remained an independent, socialist nation. China has built up relations with Japan and Western nations, although diplomacy is still wary in nations such as Manchuria and Korea.
