The Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty of China. It was established in 1636 by the Manchus[1] and lasted until the Xinhua Revolution of 1912. The dynasty suffered from the imperialism of Japan and Europe and lost Hong Kong to Britain after the First Opium War.[2] In 1895, the Qing dynasty lost control over Taiwan and Korea when they were taken over by Japan.[3]
