Manchu

The Manchu people are a Tungusic people who originated in Manchuria (today's northeastern China). During their rise in the seventeenth century, with the help of Ming rebels, they conquered the Ming Dynasty and founded the Qing Dynasty, which ruled China until the Xinhai Revolution of 1911, which established a republican government in its place. The Manchu ethnicity has largely been assimilated with the Han Chinese. The Manchu people are the last to form a dynasty of China which ended with Emperor Puyi during the rise of communism in China.
