Manchu

Last ruling dynasty in China, from 1644 until its overthrow in 1912; its last emperor was the infant P'u-i. Originally a nomadic people from Manchuria, they established power through a series of successful invasions from the north, then granted trading rights to the USA and Europeans, which eventually brought strife and the Boxer Rebellion.
