In the late 1500s, the Ming dynasty began to decline. several weaks rulers took the throne, and unfer their rule corruption increased. As defense efforts drained the treasury, Ming rulers raised taxes. High taxes combined with crop failures in tje 1600s led to famine and hardship. Rebellions broke out.
As Ming China weakened, the Manchu saw their chance. In 1644, the Manchu swept into Beijing and took the capital. The last Ming emperor killed himself to avoid capture. The Manchu then formed their own dynasty and gave it a CHinese name.
